Abstract
The article discusses a stationary process for the separation of multi-component isotope mixtures in cascades of arbitrary profile. It includes a theoretical investigation of the extreme cases in which the relative rate of isotope exchange has values of zero and infinity. A solution is obtained for a system of transport equations for a rectangular stepped cascade, and a calculation procedure for such cascades is worked out.
