Trace Element Fractionation

Trace Element Fractionation is a geochemical process characterized by the preferential partitioning of trace elements between coexisting phases during magmatic crystallization, metamorphic reactions, or weathering transformations, driven by differences in ionic radius, valence state, and site occupancy that distinguish it from major element behavior.
