NOVELTY - A matter and/or energy reclamation apparatus comprises a non-conductive carousel rotatable on and supported by a central vertical shaft to transport waste around a continuous path within a closed airtight container; microwave generating equipment to heat the waste as it moves around the continuous path; provision to remove solid matter, allow extraction of liquid and/or allow escape of gas/vapor from the closed container after application of microwave energy; and a control mechanism to control the number of rotations of the carousel for different compositions of waste or other raw material.    USE - For reclaiming matter and/or energy from waste or other raw material in solid or liquid form.    ADVANTAGE - The inventive apparatus enables individualized treatment of raw materials at different sections or stations, allowing crucibles with different contents to be programmed to totally different temperatures. Some materials may circulate for longer time, traveling several rounds while other materials may only receive one round.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A matter and/or energy reclamation apparatus comprises a carousel (1) of non-conductive material to transport waste around a continuous path within a closed airtight container (4), microwave generating equipment (7a) disposed to heat the waste as the waste moves around that continuous path, and provision to remove solid matter, to allow extraction of liquid and/or to allow escape of gas and/or vapor from the closed airtight container after the application of microwave energy. The carousel is rotatable on and partially supported by a central vertical shaft, and a control mechanism is provided to control the number of rotations of the carousel for different compositions of waste or other raw material. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method of reclaiming matter and/or energy on an industrial scale from waste or other raw material in solid or liquid form through the use of microwave-induced pyrolysis or evaporation, including transporting waste around a continuous path on a carousel within a closed airtight container; applying microwave energy to the waste as it moves around that continuous path on the carousel; recovering solid matter, allowing extraction of liquid and/or allowing escape of gas from within the closed airtight container after the application of microwave energy; and controlling the number of rotations of the carousel for different compositions of waste or other raw material.
