Say , Thin films of material X were annealed at 100 degree centigrade for 2 hours. Whether we can use this 100 degree centigrade for 2 hours to dry the precipitate of the same material X?
The best answer is try it and characterize it. See if there is any difference. To dry a PPT means getting rid of water ( I consider your material has water in it) and to anneal it means you want to crystallize it. So go for XRD analysis of your material (Both the PPT after drying and the material after annealing) See if the results are different. The PPT one should be amorphous while the annealed one should be crystalline.
