Embodiments disclosed herein provide an organic matter processing apparatus and method for the use thereof to convert organic matter into a ground and desiccated product. The organic matter processing apparatus includes a lid assembly that is positioned at the top or head of the processing apparatus and an air treatment system. The lid assembly is operative to open to allow a user to deposit organic matter into the processing apparatus or to remove a removable bucket contained therein. The lid assembly is operative to close and provide an odor containing seal that prevents or substantially mitigates escape of odor. The air treatment system uniformly distributes untreated air through an air treatment chamber to convert the untreated air to treated air, which is exhausted out of the processing apparatus.

The present invention relates to a drying apparatus for evaporating volatile constituents from a starting material to be dried, to a process for producing an isocyanate using this drying apparatus and to the use of the drying apparatus for drying distillation bottoms streams, oil-containing waste, waste paint or coating materials, sewage sludges, mineral substances and coal slurries contaminated with organic compounds. In the drying apparatus the evaporated constituents (vapours) are passed into a condenser via a vapor dome and a vapor conduit. The drying apparatus has the feature that partial condensation of the vapours in the vapor dome and/or in the vapor conduit is intentionally allowed or induced during operation, and condensed constituents of the vapours are discharged from the drying apparatus via means installed for this purpose in the vapor dome and/or the vapour conduit.
