What is the cost of the AJT Process per ton and how does it compare with other methods of waste disposable?

Initial estimates are that operating costs will be in the range of $200 - $300 per ton of waste. This does not include revenue derived from sale of the glass product. This compares well with the present costs of disposing of hazardous waste.

It is more expensive than that for a municipal waste landfill. However, when the long term costs of a municipal landfill are taken into account as well as the fact that valuable land is lost, the AJT Process is more competitive. What happens to the hazardous and toxic material in the soil or waste when it is vitrified in the AJT Process?

The heat of the process causes chemical reactions in the toxic materials to break them down into non-hazardous components. Organic materials including simple alcohols and dioxin/furans also decompose into their basic constituents. What happens to any metal that might be in the soil processed by the AJT method?

Metals in the heated material are melted and tapped from the furnace for resale and purification. Any ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
