Abstract
This study simulates the separation of stable Neon isotopes in a transient square cascade using the Crank–Nicolson method and the q-iteration method. The simulations show that each isotope has an optimal value in either the product or waste streams at a specific time, which affects the cost of separation. The results demonstrate that the optimal separation time for Ne-20 increases with the feed concentration and is influenced by the unit separation factor. Depending on the feed concentration and separation parameter, Ne-21 may be enriched in either the product or waste stream. The optimal separation time for Ne-22 is the maximum operation time and is not affected by changes in feed concentration or unit separation factor. Calculating the optimal separation time is crucial for obtaining target isotopes with specific purity at a designated time, depending on their intended applications.
