| Abstract: | We investigate the metal enrichment of the intra-cluster medium by using a method that combines N-Body simulations and a semi-analytic
model (SAM) of galaxy formation. The cluster of galaxies is simulated in a flat, low density universe, with a numerical resolution
that allows the detection of substructures in the dark matter background of the cluster. The phenomenological approach used
to model the physical processes involved in the galaxy formation and metal production is applied to the substructures found
in the dark matter halos detected at different redshifts. Details of the chemical implementation in the SAM and first results
related to the mean properties of the baryonic matter components are presented.
