Abstract

The present invention relates to an electronic incinerating apparatus for incinerating organic matter such as garbage having a high rate of water content. This apparatus is composed of a primary combustion chamber (4) into which garbage to be burned is put and a secondary combustion chamber (18) in which decomposition gas of garbage (2) is burned; and the garbage (2) is decomposed or carbonized by microwave in the primary combustion chamber (4), and the decomposition gas is burned by an igniting apparatus in the secondary combustion chamber (18) where no microwave is irradiated. This constitution is characterized in that garbage is dried by microwave to become a good quality fuel, and is thereafter decomposed and burned perfectly, and therefore the exhaust gas is clean and the garbage can be burned perfectly to ashes at high temperatures, so that the treatment is extremely sanitary. The present invention relates to a constitution, control and materials for realizing an electronic incinerating apparatus, and the above-described operation can be carried out by these matters.
