Abstract

The present research project aims to investigate a strategy for rainwater treatment employing corn starch as coagulant in laboratory scale and in a full scale installation, in which the filtration will be employed with different filter beds, to the system of separation solid/liquid, intending to use rainwater in different non-potable activities. The tests will be carried out in laboratory scale and in full scale installations assembled in the facilities of Centro de Estudos Ambientais, UNESP, campus Rio Claro.
