Summary
Precipitation generally refers to a relatively rapid formation of a sparingly soluble crystalline – or sometimes amorphous – solid phase from a liquid solution phase. Precipitation is rather poorly understood when compared with crystallization of more soluble materials. It generally involves the simultaneous and rapid occurrence of nucleation and growth together with the so-called secondary processes, such as Ostwald ripening and agglomeration. In many cases, these processes are difficult to separate and investigate independently and mechanistically.
