Abstract
The precipitation phenomenon is commonly used in chemical analysis. For example, in immediate analysis, it allows impurities to be eliminated from the studied medium by precipitating them as poorly soluble derivatives. Contrary to this methodology, in some other cases, the compound of interest may be isolated in a pure state by precipitation. In quantitative analysis, the precipitation phenomenon is the basis for gravimetry and for the titrations of some ions.
