The natural available materials and uncomplicated process to new ceramic proppants preparation were applied. The modification of the ceramic proppants based on the addition of the waste material as fly ash. The produced ceramic material in the form of granules characterized by high mechanical properties and low production costs. Moreover, the obtained good values of compressive strength and gas permeability for investigated proppants confirmed that this material has appropriate properties to be used in the hydraulic fracturing.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Preparation of a Ceramic Proppants for Hydraulic Fracturing Using F – Type Fly Ash}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/106724/PDF/AMM-2018-2-70-Kasprzyk.pdf}, doi={10.24425/122444}, keywords={proppants, ceramic materials, shale gas, hydraulic fracturing, fly ash}, }
