Method and apparatus for nitrogen disinfection of medical waste material

An apparatus for disinfecting waste material, the apparatus comprising:

• an insulated structure which is the disinfection chamber having a plurality of heating assemblies being held thereof, each of said heating assemblies being arranged in a manner wherein it is capable of providing heat in said insulated structure, said insulated structure being made such that it is capable of disinfecting and disposing waste materials being heated and disinfected therein, insulated structure includes an insulated hollow cylindrical stationary outer shell member and hollow rotary moving inner shell member that defines a heating chamber disposed there between, a waste heating chamber being defined by said inner rotating shell member on which is also a conveying means provided within the inner shell member being held thereof in a manner wherein it is capable of providing rotary movement and disposal of the heated and/or disinfected waste materials disposed in the inner shell member, each of said heating assemblies consisting of a heat pipe in communication with said heating chamber, a superheated nitrogen producing means in communication with said heating chamber, and a heater heated using a burner or electric source is fixedly held on said superheated nitrogen producing means and being arranged such that it is capable of providing heat in said superheated nitrogen producing means, said superheated nitrogen producing means being capable of transforming cold nitrogen contained therein into superheated nitrogen through utilization of heat generated by said burner or heater.
