Toilet apparatus and method for disposing and sterilizing waste

Abstract

Toilet apparatus for disposing waste including a compartment containing an oxidizing agent that contacts waste and causes an exothermic reaction that results in water evaporation, sterilization, and bad odor elimination.

1 . Toilet apparatus comprising:
 a toilet bowl;   a waste compartment to which waste is conveyed from said toilet bowl; and   an oxidizing dispenser that dispenses an oxidizer to waste in said waste compartment, said oxidizer reacting with the waste to form an exothermic reaction that results in water evaporation, and a condenser that collects water evaporated during the exothermic reaction.   
     
     
         2 . The toilet apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a mixer for mixing the oxidizer and the waste. 
     
     
         3 . The toilet apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said waste compartment comprises separate solid and liquid compartments. 
     
     
         4 . The toilet apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a pump that directs condensed water collected by said condenser to a water reservoir for re-use in said toilet bowl. 
     
     
         5 . The toilet apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said condenser comprises a thermoelectric device that uses a temperature difference between warm and cold portions of said condenser to generate electricity. 
     
     
         6 . The toilet apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein said thermoelectric device charges a battery to operate a pump or a light. 
     
     
         7 . The toilet apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising one or more solar panels to assist in electric operation of the toilet apparatus.
