The effect of cation charge on crystal-melt partitioning of trace elements

Abstract:

In this paper we develop a simple theoretical model to explain two of the most important observations about trace element partitioning. The first of these is the apparent dependence of crystal-melt partition coefficients on charge such that when a cation such as Ca2+ is replaced by ions of approximately the same radius but different charge, partitioning follows the approximate relationship: D2+Ca > D1+i ≈ D1+j > D4+k ≥ D0+n where n refers to a noble gas atom. The second observation is t...
