Precipitation may refer to:
- Acid precipitation, a type of precipitation characterized by high acidity. In Meteorology, precipitation (also known as one class of hydrometeors, which are atmospheric water phenomena is any product of the condensation of atmospheric Precipitation is the formation of a Solid in a Solution during a Chemical reaction. Precipitation was an incredibly influential sire and is found in the pedigrees of many sport horses today Acid rain is Rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually Acidic It has harmful effects on plants aquatic animals and infastructure
- Ammonium sulfate precipitation, a method of purifying proteins
- Ethanol precipitation, a method of concentrating DNA
- Precipitation strengthening, a method used to strengthen malleable materials
- Protein precipitation, a method of separating contaminants from biological products. Ammonium sulfate precipitation is a method of Protein purification by altering Solubility of protein Ethanol precipitation is a method used to purify and/or concentrate RNA, DNA and Polysaccharides such as Pectin and Xyloglucan from Precipitation hardening, also called age hardening, is a Heat treatment technique used to strengthen Malleable materials including most structural For malleability in Cryptography, see Malleability (cryptography. Precipitation is widely used in Downstream processing of biological products such as Proteins.
- Basic precipitation, a type of precipitation characterized by high alkilinity. Basic precipitation occurs when Calcium oxide and Sodium hydroxide are emitted into the atmosphere undergo chemical transformations and are absorbed by water

Dictionary
precipitation
-noun
- A hurried headlong fall.
- (countable, chemistry) A reaction that leads to the formation of a heavier solid in a lighter liquid; the precipitate so formed at the bottom of the container.
- (Weather) Any or all of the forms of water particles, whether liquid or solid, that fall from the atmosphere (e.g., rain, hail, snow or sleet). It is a major class of hydrometeor, but it is distinguished from cloud, fog, dew, rime, frost, etc., in that it must fall. It is distinguished from cloud and virga in that it must reach the ground.
