Crystallization of homemade sodium acetate

Step 11 Final filtering step

If you've gone through the purification steps, this will be the final filtering step (if not, this is the only filtering step). The solution should be hot (if you skipped purification, turn down the heat so the solution isn't actively boiling but is just being kept hot, and go read step 10 which talks about setting up filtering with either a strainer or a funnel).

Clean the strainer and the receiving container and place the strainer in position (or, if using a funnel and lab stand, prepare the funnel). This filtering step will use ten coffee filters at a time. Place ten coffee filters, nested together, into the strainer (or, folded properly, into the funnel).

Using a one cup measuring cup (or similar small container with an appropriate lip for pouring), fill the filter with hot solution and let it drain. Keep transferring hot solution into the filter until all solution has been filtered, taking care not to overfill the filter.
