The general principles of plasma convection associated with filamentary structures in cosmical plasmas are discussed with reference to the role of plasma convection in chemical separation. It is suggested that a local chemical differentiation mechanism in the preflare history of the specific active region is probably responsible for the composition of the emitted energetic particles. The filamentary structures are analyzed as helical twisted magnetic flux tubes where the magnetic field is approximately force free. Under the influence of electric and magnetic fields the ionized component of the plasma will drift inward, and a temperature gradient in this plasma convection will cause the radial transport to be different for elements with different ionization potentials, which would lead to chemical separation.
