Precipitation (chemistry) processes are often used in sequence – for example, a barium nitrate solution will react with sulfate ions to form a solid barium sulfate precipitate, indicating that it is likely that sulfate ions are present. Digestion, or "precipitate ageing", happens when a freshly formed precipitate is left, usually at a higher temperature, in the solution from which it precipitates. It results in cleaner and bigger particles. The physico-chemical process underlying digestion is called Ostwald ripening. Precipitation (chemistry) Precipitation is the creation of a solid from a solution. When the reaction occurs in a liquid solution, the solid formed is called
