Abstract
Properly installing an impermeable barrier between the plates of a continuous flat-plate thermal diffusion column may substantially increase the separation efficiency by reducing the remixing effect, while still preserving the cascading effect. Theoretical considerations show that when the column is designed with the best barrier position, maximum concentration of top product, minimum concentration of bottom product and maximum degree of separation are obtained simultaneously.
