Absorb precipitates when heating water in a microwave?
I boil filtered water. I notice much precipitates in the water after heating it up in microwave. I would like to remove them, and I am thinking the ways do it.
Ways
- some absorbing stone etc ...
- some specific rough ceramic bowl to which those precipitates attach to (I think this is the best bet)
- material of the bowl?
How can you remove precipitates in water after its heating in microwave?
Which material would you use for the bowl?
Best Answer
I would simply filter them out. A coffee filter should take care of even the finest minerals.
I doubt that you can effectively do it while boiling. Even if you give them sites to attach to, a lot will stay afloat.

Answer 2
By definition, precipitates fall to the bottom of the container.
Therefore, the standard procedure is simply to decant the liquid -- pour the liquid off the top, without pouring out the last little bit which contains the solids.
