No.
It can be done, but it is a bad idea if you do not know what you're doing or are dealing with impure solutions.
But what type of A/R solution are we talking of? Platinum, gold, palladium? What?
Again, please be more specific with which processes in particular you ask about!!

can you explain?
precipitating silver from what solution?
as far as I know caustic (sodium hydroxide) will precipitate most metals from acid but if too much many will dissolve in it. I see better methods for silver.
unless you are using caustic and aluminum to convert silver chloride,
you can use a chloride like table salt, or HCl to precipitate silver from silver nitrate solution, a pure copper bar works good also.

I do, if only seeking gold from your AR, you must slowly add it (NaOH in water) to the AR until just before a color change (turn cloudy).
