Preparation of a New Fracture Ceramic Proppant

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new fracture ceramic proppant was prepared using the low-cost raw bauxite mineral as raw material, by adding the auxiliary material such as potash feldspar, manganese powder and nanocalcium carbonate. The obtained proppants were characterized by XRD and SEM. The crushing rate, particle size, sphericity and roundness of the products were satisfied the recommendation in the standard of the American Petroleum Institute APIR-60.
