Abstract

Floating, Insulated, Waterless Toilet System with Fece-Urine Separation, Slippery Coating, Urine Bag, Dehumidifying Structure, Fecal Disinfection-Deodorization by Microbes, and Urine Disinfection-Deodorization by Hydrogen Peroxide includes a system of components. The Toilet Pedestal is made of a water-proof, structural foam that both floats in water and thermally insulates the Fece Bag. The feces and urine are kept separate by a ridge between the urine bowl and the fece chute. The Toilet Lid forms a temporary seal with the Toilet Platform when the lid is closed. The Toilet Lid is thermally insulated so that it stays warm and dry inside the toilet. The Toilet has a thermally conductive structure that condenses humidity inside the Toilet. The urine and condensation are collected in a Urine Bag. The surfaces of the Toilet are covered by a slippery coating to prevent feces attachment. The feces are disinfected and/or deodorized by special microbes. The urine is disinfected and/or deodorized by Hydrogen Peroxide added to the Urine Bag or at a later step in processing.
