Partitioning of trace elements between abiotic and biotic minerals (carbonates and sulfates) and aqueous solutions was theoretically considered. The effects of diffusion in aqueous solution, rate of precipitation, and physical properties of crystals (ionic radii, Poisson's ratio, Young's modulus) on the partitioning are discussed. Some examples of application of the partitioning of trace elements to environmental problems are given.
