2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
European Conference on Fluid-Particle Separation (FPS2010)
5-7 October 2010 Lyon, France Deadline for abstracts: 15 April 2010 Submit your abstract on www.fps2010.com
INTERFILTRA The International exhibition INTERFILTRA www.interfiltra.com, the only event in France fully dedicated to Filtration and Separation Technologies will be held in parallel with the Conference FPS 2010 and should gather 150 exhibitors of separation machines and products, and measurement and characterization instruments.
EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON FLUID PARTICLE SEPARATION The Conference is an international event, the first of a series that is destined to become a major date in the calendar of all the key actors in the field of fluid-particle separation. It will provide post-graduate students, researchers, equipment manufacturers and end users with a first-class opportunity to meet, discuss and learn about the latest results and developments in the field. The first conference FPS 2010 is organized by the French Fluid-Particle Separation Society (SF2P) with the endorsement of The Filtration Society (FS), the American Filtration and Separations Society (AFS), and the China Filtration & Separations Committee (CFS).
The conference will be organized on the following topics: Separation of dispersed phases from liquid (including decantation and thickening in
gravity settlers and thickeners; cake and clarifying filtration in vacuum and pressure filters; centrifugal separations in filtering or sedimenting centrifuges and hydrocyclones; solid-liquid expression, liquid-liquid and solid-liquid extractions; flotation for emulsions and suspensions; adsorption), Separation of dispersed phases from gas (including separations in filters,
electrostatic precipitators, cyclones and wet scrubbers, emission reduction), Membrane Separation (including microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse
osmosis and pervaporation), Predicting and monitoring of separations (including computer modeling, imaging,
process monitoring, testing and validation; suspensions, emulsions and mists characterization, from nanoparticles to agglomerates), Technical developments in filter media (e.g. woven and non-woven media, membranes,
composite and renewable media, filter aids), Processes Intensification and Innovative Technologies (field assisted: electrical, magnetic,
acoustic, vibrational methods in separation processes and in pre-treatment/post-treatment operations; bio- and chemical enhancement of coagulation and flocculation; advances and combined processes and equipment), Pre-treatment, Post-treatment and Related Processes and Techniques (crystallization,
coagulation and flocculation, coalescence, washing, drying), Product Related Filtration and Separation Applications (in, for example, water, waste water
and sludge treatment, chemical and related industries, mine and mineral industry, paper making, food and beverage production, pharmaceutical and health, nuclear industry, textile, iron and steel, surfactants, cosmetics and perfume, electronics, automotive systems, clean room technology). Fluid-Particle Separation to fulfill new “green processes” requirements

Location Lyon is a highly economically dynamic European metropolis. It is a privileged setting in the heart of Europe, easily accessible by TGV High speed train or by flight to its international airport. Lyon is the heart of French chemical industry with a long tradition of innovation and high technology. Lyon and Rhône-Alpes region offer a strong, diverse industrial network with 5 poles of Excellence for research and development in biotechnologies, chemistry, transportation, digital leisure activities, fashion and design. Transportation The Lyon St Exupéry international airport is connected to the whole world and the major European metropolitan centers. The City of Lyon is easy to reach by car (network of European highways) and train (more than 50 daily TGV (High Speed Train) connections with northern and southern Europe). Accommodation Conference delegates will have a choice of accommodations in different hotels located in the city centre. A list of hotels (including low cost accomodation ) will be available online at the web site of FPS 2010 www.fps2010.com. Abstract Submission Abstracts (2 pages including figures) should be submitted via the conference web site: www.fps2010.com Deadline for abstracts: 15 April 2010 Notification of acceptance: 31 May 2010
