The effect of bitumen extraction conditions on the behavior of a number of toxic trace elements (V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Sb, and Pb) in solid fossil fuel samples was studied. It was found that the capacity of fossil fuels to concentrate trace elements can be monitored and the type of compound can be determined based on the dimensionless quantities of carbophilicity and concentration factors of the trace elements in coal and peat. The types of compounds in fossil fuels were found and graphically represented for the test trace elements.
