Abstract
An electrolysis unit is used in conjunction with the holding tank of a self-contained recirculating toilet system. The liquid and solid waster material is macerated and recirculated by an external macerator pump as a fine slurry. The slurry material from the lowermost portion of the waste tank is treated by electrolysis producing oxygen and chlorine and an odor free water vapor exhaust. The residue from the electrolysis decomposition unit is periodically removed.
