I don't know if we'd need to take the process quite that far. If we
were to just break the waste streams down to the level of small, simple
molecules (H2O, CO2, NH3, etc.) that would take care of all of the
problems you mention. This is pretty much the strategy suggested by
Marshall Savage, who recommends SuperCritical Combustion chambers for
this purpose.
