The author states and studies the optimization separation problem of the output of a concentrate for nonideal multidimensional separation. The determination of the output \(\gamma_i\) of a concentrate with respect to the \(i\)th concentration object leads to the following setting: Choosing the interfaces, maximize the output of the concentrate under given constraints on the content of harmful components in the concentrate: \[ \begin{aligned} &\gamma_k = \gamma_k(\xi_p) = \gamma_k(\beta_p) \to \max_{\xi,\beta_p} \\ &\overline{\beta}_j \leq \varepsilon_j,\quad j = 1,2,\dots, m, \end{aligned} \] where it is supposed that the particles of the original raw material are distinguished according to some properties \(\xi = (\xi_1, \xi_2,\dots, \xi_n)\) and contain several valuable components \(\beta = (\beta_1, \beta_2,\dots, \beta_m)\) and there are \(N\) types of the original raw material (concentration object) to be separated. The author proves Reinhardt's theorem in the nonideal multidimensional case, which makes it possible to obtain a system of \(m\) nonlinear equations for finding optimal interfaces \(\beta^*_p = (\beta_{p_1}^*, \beta_{p_2}^*,\dots, \beta_{p_m}^*)\). Then the system obtained is solved by the well-known numerical method.
