pulverization
The word is "finfördelning", but there is no exact English counterpart.

: Is "pulverization" really appropriate for toilet waste? It makes me associate to grinding something solid into a powder.

finfördelning
Granulisation
Assuming it's a typo and should be "finfördelning" I'm guessing the only way to "finfördela" toilet waste is to first remove the water (desiccation). This would perhaps then be broken up into granules/dust. I've heard of this kind of processing of toilet waste for use as fertiliser. Seems to make sense if the waste needs to be stored.
