contents The problem of ponderomotive separation of ions with different charge-to-mass ratios under the influence of Alfven waves, which permanently exist in the magnetosphere in the form of geomagnetic pulsations, is posed. Formulas are derived for partial ponderomotive forces acting on light and heavy (metal) ions. In the quasi-hydrodynamic approximation, it was found that the Clarke number, which characterizes the metallicity of the plasma, is maximum at the minimum of the magnetic field on the field line along which the Alfvén wave propagates. Key words: ponderomotive forces, Alfvén waves, heavy ions, Clarke number.
