Correct. The article in question reports that boiling specifically hard water results in the coprecipitation of some portion of the microplastics with calcium carbonate. The precipitate then settles out, and the depleted bulk solution can be decanted to separate it from the MPs.

I’m more a fan of “that one fused 7 and 6 memebered ring diazacycle that has that guanidine sorta thing going on that people use as a strong base when their molecule is too much of a coward to handle a real base, shit, the fuck is it called… a oops it’s not guanidine, the fuck is the nitrogen version of an ester called, yeah that”, personally.
