More often than not you're left with some sort precipitate, most precipitates are denser than water so they would not be buoyant enough and they would then sink to the bottom.

A good example of this is sand in our oceans, as it isn't soluble in water, the mineral can be carried by the force of the water's currents etc. but ultimately they come out and sink to the bottom. Most precipitates are salts, so they will contain some metals and another elemental ion. eg NaCl, though soluble in water is still a salt, or maybe some CaSO4 which is insoluble in water and is probably at the bottoom of the ocean as we speak.

Hope my answer helped.

Cheers.
