THE CIMV CELLULOSE

• Physical and pulping properties close to hardwood
  commercial pulp set up by the Centre Technique du
  Papier Grenoble
• A unique position in the market
• Due to a production in exemplary economical and
  environnemental production ?
• 0 déforestation, 0 chlorine, small quantity of
  water, no pollution.
• Due to the use of annual plant (straw, sugar cane
  and sweet sorghum bagasses, miscanthus etc)
  which can help to solve the fibers supply
  regarding the increase of the pulp demand
  worldwide

CIMV XYLOSE

• Xylose is the most abundent product on earth
  after glucose but has today very small market
  xylitol 40 000 T/year, furfurol and furfurylic
  alcool 200 000 T/year
• An unique and new position on the market for the
  CIMV xylose due to a production in exemplary
  economical and environnemental conditions
• furfurol and furfurylic alcool are in our concept
  key stones of the Agrichemistry

• Additives for animal feeding
• Xylitol
• Surfactants
• Furfurol and derivatives
• Furanic polymers

A.Gardziella, L.A. Pilato and A.Knop in the 2nd
edition(2000) of their reference book ,
Phenolic Resins write page 527 and 528
On the basis of its structure, lignins may be
considered a kind of phenolic condensate in the
broadest sense of the term, making it logical to
use it in production of phenolic resins.
Pertinent tests involving the use of lignin in
various areas have been carried out in the last
few years, and some have been successful. At
present, it is necessary to wait and see whether
the cellulose and paper industry can further
develop sulfur-free digestion processes and bring
these into large-scale production, since a basic
requirement for the use of lignin is generally
the availability of sulfur-free, low molecular
mass lignins. Such materials are basically
available by way of organosolv process. However,
the organosolv process, involving organic wood
digestion, is currently only used to a limited
extent on an industrial scale.
? CIMV will be the first society to give an
answer

CIMV LIGNINS

• Perfect substitutes for phenolic and more widely
  hydroxyl monomers and oligomers for thermosetting
  and thermoplastic polymers towards a green
  plastic industry
• A unique position on the market due to a
  production in exemplary economical and
  environnemental conditions
• New materials without influence on the greenhouse
  effect which can reduce the oil dependence of
  this industrial sector
• As we know the structure and the functionnality
  of ours lignins, the market price is close to
  the market price of the corresponding monomers
  and oiligomers from oil origin.

CIMV LIGNINS
The molar mass distribution curves of lignin,
obtained by Size Exclusion Chromatography show a
molecular weights comprised between 1000 and 1500
g/mol.
The formyl, acetyl and hydroxyl groups
The presence of formyl and acetyl groups comes
from the conditions of extraction (acetic acid /
formic acid media).
The amount of carboxylic groups is about 1,00
mmol/g of lignin.

THE FIRST FACTORY
52
CIMV / CHAMPAGNE

• CIMV-CHAMPAGNE ARDENNES is a subsidiary of CIMV
  and CHAMPAGNE CEREALES
• This joint venture 65/35 makes the straw supply
  feel secure.
• The factory will refine 140 000 T of straw/year
  and will create 130 jobs
• We set up an industrial and commercial strategy
  for a worldwilde extrapolation

53
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FACTORY

• CIMV carries out the basic engineering.
• The industrial production line is built with
  standard equipments well known in sugar, oil,
  vegetal oil and chemical industry.
• We work with
• Organic refining pulp separation DE SMET
• Evaporation / désolvantation GEA KESNER
• Hydro-organic refining pulp operations
  ANDRITZ, CTP
• Liquid / Liquid extraction ROBATEL, KHUNI
• Inter-blocks connections PONTICELLI
• Detailed engineering and construction CITEX
  TECHNIP, THEBAULT INGENIERIE
• The production will start in october 2009

54
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

• Organic acids recycled no pollution
• Bleaching, partly in organic media, reduces the
  water consumption dramatically ( gt 80).
• No green house effect with straw used for energy.
• A CIMV factory substitutes in a year the
  deforestation of 2500 hectares of forest by 140
  000 T of straw.
