Approximately 30% of all minerals are silicates and some geologists estimate that 90% of the Earth's crust is made up of silicate. Thus, oxygen and silicon are the two most abundant elements in the earth's crust.

It covers direct precipitation and the method of separating analytes already in particulate forms using filtration and extraction techniques. Filtration uses different filters based on the particle size, while extraction involves separating analytes from a matrix using a suitable solvent.
