     When I mixed osmosed water with 99,9% isopropyl alcohol some white precipitation appeared, starting with no precipitation in osmosed water and isopropyl alcohol.
     Supposed to have 75 % isopropyl Alcohol which have no precipitation so I can analyse what happened to have the white precipitation formed from very small particles.

    I could only guess but it would make sense that there is some non-water soluble compound dissolved in your alcohol that precipitates out when you dilute the alcohol with water.

    @Perry same suspect I guess that the problem from isopropyl alcohol because osmosed water can’t make that  however the degree of Alcohol is 99,9% then it is diluted so can  less then 0,1 % do that??!
    And what can be the precipitation?!!
     Any way thanks for your guess.
