  • Abstract
    A simulation program for predicting solar detoxification costs has been developed by the authors. All possible cost parameters that affect the solar detoxification cost have been incorporated into the program. This paper gives details of the program, including the logic and the variables associated with the solar detoxification process. Finally, a sample calculation has been presented by using the developed program. A procedure to determine the ground area required for solar reactors is also given in this paper
