A waste heat treatment apparatus includes a waste accommodating chamber for holding and burning waste placed in the chamber which is positioned in an outer housing that also holds a recombustion section for after burning the burning gas. An ash pan collects waste after the burning and/or after a sterilization for removal from the outer housing. An exhaust fan exhausts the burning gas out of the outer housing. A catalyzer is positioned in a gas passage between the recombustion section and the exhaust fan. The waste accommodating chamber includes a heater for burning the waste, and the recombustion section includes a further heater for after burning the gas generated by the burning. This structure provides a relatively simple device which is compact and portable, whereby installation near the spot where the waste is produced, is facilitated.
An apparatus for heat treating waste material, comprising a housing (31), a first combustion chamber (33) for accommodating waste material in said housing, means (37, 38, 50) for introducing waste into said first combustion chamber (33), an after burner second combustion chamber (34) in said housing, a first flow passage communicating said first and second combustion chambers (33, 34) with each other, a ceramic filter (43) and a heater (44) in said ceramic filter (43) forming a unit positioned in said first flow passage between said first and second combustion chambers, a gas exhaust in said housing, a second flow passage in said housing communicating said second combustion chamber (34) with said gas exhaust, a catalyzer (42) in said second flow passage between said second combustion chamber (34) and said gas exhaust, means for removing ash from said housing, and wherein said first combustion chamber (33), said ceramic filter and heater unit (43, 44), said second combustion chamber (34), said catalyzer (42), and said exhaust are arranged in series with each other for exhausting gas generated in said first combustion chamber.
