"EFPG days" 2004
(in French)
Following the success of the first edition of "EFPG
Days" which was held on 8 and 9 April 2003, the EFPG presents the program of the
next sessions. This seminar, intended for a public of industrialists responsible
for R&D or for production, consists in presenting the state of the art and the
latest results of research in the fields of specialization of the EFPG. The
formula offered on this occasion appealed to the participants for its
conviviality, closer to that of a training seminar than a traditional conference.

The First edition of "EFPG Days" a success
The first session of spring 2003 was devoted to the techniques of
morphological characterization of fibers as well as the progress made in the
operations of pulp manufacture : increase in the material yield during cooking,
optimization of the operations of bleaching using chlorine dioxide, oxygen or
ozone.
The presentations, conducted by teacher-researchers and PhD students of the
EFPG, researchers of the AFOCEL and CTP as well as by some suppliers, was
conducted exclusively in English and brought together 48 participants from a
score of companies representing 8 countries, some distant such as Brazil and
Vietnam. The summaries and the presentations of the program 2003 are available
on the site of the CERIG under the heading "EFPG Days".

EFPG (Grenoble). The program of this session has been organized by the
departments of "Process Chemistry" and "Physics of fibrous structures" of the
LGP2 (research laboratory of the EFPG). It will deal with the following topics :
 |
 |
Professor Dominique LACHENAL, specialist
in the chemical processes of pulp production and bleaching, |
|
|
|
Dr Christian VOILLOT, specialist
in microscopy and fiber characterization , |
|
|
|
Dr Christine CHIRAT, specialist
in pulp bleaching and at the origin of several developments using ozone, |
|
|
|
Dr Raphaël PASSAS, specialist
in the characterization of fibers, |
|
|
|
Associated
Professor Gérard MORTHA, specialist in the chemistry of the processes applied
to cooking and to bleaching, |
|
|
|
Dr Nathalie MARLIN, specialist
in the bleaching of fibers of recovery, |
|
|
|
Representatives
of paper mills and the suppliers of chemical products and equipment will also
take part in the presentations. |
|
The detailed program of this event which will begin with a question on the
"Essential Properties of the Paper of Tomorrow"
as well as the information request form, are available under the heading
"EFPG Days".
The EFPG has anticipated, that from 2004 onwards, two sessions per year will
be organized (one in April and the other at the end of the year). In order to
cover each research set of themes of the EFPG, the permutations will be carried out so that the same topic returns at
the end approximately three years. The session of autumn 2004 should deal with a set of themes related to graphic
industries.
