Abstract :
There are many domains of life, techniques, industry, environmental analysis and protection, where the heavier isotope are useful. The predominant isotope of the carbon is (12C), with the natural abundance of 98.9%, but as tracer in many application is asked the (13C) isotope, initially with the concentration of 1.1%. For industrial output and higher concentration, the method of the cryogenic distillation is a proper solution. The paper deals with the general analysis of the operation for the (12C) isotope separation column, some design element, the "local" and "global" models for the column operation
