TL;DR: Clarification of muddy water by paste prepared from Strychnos potatorum seeds is due to the combined action of colloids and alkaloids present in the seeds, and an optimum concentration of paste is needed for efficient clarification.
Abstract: Clarification of muddy water by paste prepared fromStrychnos potatorum seeds is due to the combined action of colloids and alkaloids present in the seeds. The albumin and other colloids sensitise the suspension and the coagulation is then caused by the alkaloid ions. The paste, if used in excess, fails to clarify the water. An optimum concentration of paste is therefore to be employed for efficient clarification.
