The precipitate is formed as a result of salting out of PVA or the formation of an oxonium salt between PVA and sulfuric acid. Try

1.heat the mixture

2. reduce the concentration of sulfuric acid or PVA

3. add salting agents urea, thiourea, guadinium chloride

Thank you Yuri Mirgorod

Thank you @Yuri Mirgorod

Heating the mixture bit more than room temperature resulted in clear hydrogel
