13. Apparatus comprising:
-
a receptacle for holding therein organic waste; a first dispenser operative to dispense an oxidizing agent to said organic waste so as to cause an exothermic reaction that results in combustion of said organic waste; a second dispenser operative to dispense a reducing agent that neutralizes a residual amount of said oxidizing agent that remains after said exothermic reaction; and a sensor for sensing said residual amount of said oxidizing agent, said sensor being in communication with said second dispenser so that said second dispenser dispenses said reducing agent in accordance with information from said sensor, wherein said sensor comprises a humidity sensor and said second dispenser dispenses said reducing agent in accordance with products of the exothermic reaction having reached a predetermined humidity after a predetermined time.
