A one-dimensional model is considered in which a fully ionized plasma is separated from a neutral gas by a homogeneous magnetic field directed along the plasma boundary. The plasma and the neutral gas consist of two different types of ions and neutral particles. In a steady state, the outflux of plasma by diffusion across the magnetic field is compensated by an influx of neutrals which are ionized in a partially ionized boundary region. It is found that the ratio between the ion densities in the fully ionized region will, in general, differ from the density ratio of the two types of neutrals present in the gas region. This provides a separation mechanism with applications both to astrophysical and laboratory plasmas.
