Terminology for trace-element partitioning
A self-consistent terminology for partitioning data is presented. Ratios of the concentration of a component in two phases are termed partition coefficients and given the symbol D. Ratios of partition coefficients are termed exchange coefficients and given the symbol K D . The prefix “bulk” implies...

Zusammenfassung: | A self-consistent terminology for partitioning data is presented. Ratios of the concentration of a component in two phases are termed partition coefficients and given the symbol
D. Ratios of partition coefficients are termed exchange coefficients and given the symbol
K

. The prefix “bulk” implies that these coefficients are weighted according to the proportions of coexisting phases. Bulk partition and bulk exchange coefficients are denoted by
D
