It involves the injection of fluids into an oil or gas-bearing underground formation at sufficiently high speeds and pressures in order to form cracks in the formation, increasing the flow of fluids from the oil or gas reservoir into the well.
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o maintain open fractures, mechanically strong proppants that do not interact with the well fluid are introduced into them &#; sphere-like granules (proppants), which, penetrating the fluid into the fracture and at least partially filling it, create a strong proppant permeable to oil and gas released from the reservoir.
&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;. &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;. &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;. &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; (&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;), &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;.In general, a proppant is a solid material designed to keep induced hydraulic fracturing open during or after a fracturing process. For hydraulic fracturing, proppants are added to the well treatment fluids, which are then injected into underground formations. Well treatment fluids may vary in composition depending on the type of formation. Traditional proppants include materials such as sand (the most common type), nutshell, aluminum and aluminum alloys, crushed coke, granular slag, coal dust, crushed stone, metal granules such as steel, sintered bauxite, sintered alumina, refractory materials, such as mullite, and glass granules, as well as artificial ceramic materials and polymers.
&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; (&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;) &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;.The importance of choosing a material suitable for a particular well is due to the fact that proppants must withstand not only high reservoir pressure, which tends to deform proppant particles, which can lead to closure of the fracture, but also withstand the effects of aggressive well medium (moisture, acid gases, salt solutions) when high temperatures.
&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;.It has been found that ceramic proppants generally have advantageous characteristics relative to many other types of materials, for example, in the context of their strength and uniformity of size and shape.
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evertheless, despite the fact that ceramic proppants are strong enough and effective and can be produced in cost-effective ways, there is a need to create new proppants with improved mechanical characteristics, such as strength, permeability, specific gravity (bulk density), hydrothermal stability and acid resistance, as well as effective methods for their preparation.

However, this proppant has insufficient strength and is intended only for wells of intermediate depth with a pressure of less than psi.

MgO and approximately 60% w / w. SiO 2 . Due to the very narrow sintering range (Δ&#; max from 10 to 20 ° &#;), the manufacture of such proppants is difficult and expensive. Also, due to the narrow sintering temperature range, firing in a rotary kiln under standard industrial conditions will lead to the production of underburned porous proppant particles and overbaked molten proppant particles.
&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;. &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;. &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;.Thus, the actually achieved strength, acid resistance and hydrothermal stability of proppants obtained under industrial conditions are noticeably lower than for batches obtained under laboratory conditions. In addition, the narrow sintering range requires a greater exposure of the proppant material to the sintering temperature to achieve a uniform temperature distribution. This leads to the growth of crystals of magnesium metasilicate and phase transformation during the cooling process, which also reduces the quality of the resulting proppant.
&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;, &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;.Thus, a disadvantage of the known method and the product obtained by it is that the proppant obtained has reduced mechanical characteristics, in particular strength values, which also leads to a decrease in the proppant layer permeability at elevated pressures.
&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; (&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;) &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;.The objective of the present invention is to obtain a ceramic proppant (proppant particles) with high performance and low cost.

Firing is usually carried out at a temperature of from about ° C to about ° C for a period of time sufficient to ensure the production of spherical ceramic granules. The specific time and temperature will vary depending on the source material used and the specific equipment. The optimal firing time and temperature for a specific composition of the starting material can be determined empirically in accordance with the results of physical tests of the obtained granules after firing. Firing is carried out in an oxidizing atmosphere. For example, firing can be carried out in a traditional rotary kiln. Description of firing equipment can also be found in P.S. Mamykin, P.V. Levchenko, K.K. Arrow Furnaces and dried refractories. State Scientific and Technical Publishing House of Literature on Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metallurgy, Sverdlovsk Branch, Sverdlovsk, . At the end, screening of proppant agent granules of the required size can be carried out and packaging of a commercial product in a storage container.

Preliminary firing is generally carried out to remove chemically bound moisture (dehydration) from the starting minerals in order to facilitate granulation and final firing. However, it was found that its conduct in a reducing atmosphere is associated with imparting improved properties to the final products.
&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;.Thus, the method according to the present invention includes the step of pre-firing the magnesium-containing material in a reducing atmosphere.

The inventors have found that conducting preliminary firing before stage a) may be preferable from the point of view of reducing the energy consumption for grinding the magnesium-containing material due to loosening of the magnesium-containing material during the preliminary firing.

In the present method, a reducing (weakly reducing) atmosphere means a reaction medium (atmosphere) with an oxygen content of less than 5 mass. %, preferably less than 2-3 mass. % A reducing atmosphere in the pre-calcination zone can be achieved by introducing a carbon-containing additive selected from the group including, for example, natural gas, coal, coke, or mixtures thereof. However, it should be noted that the proposed method is not limited to these additives and the specialist in this field can use any means and techniques to ensure a reducing atmosphere in the firing zone.

&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;. &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;. &#; &#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;, &#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;. &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#;&#; &#;&#;&#;&#;&#;.The behavior of preliminary firing in shaft furnaces is accompanied by a distributed air supply to maintain combustion in the zones of the furnace. Part of the air is fed through the discharge grill at the bottom of the furnace, part of the air is fed through additional windows above the firing zone. Natural gas or another agent or additive is supplied to the combustion zone to provide a reducing atmosphere in the reaction zone, as defined herein. Preliminary firing in a shaft furnace is also characterized by a low specific energy consumption and a reduction in dust losses compared to firing of magnesium-containing material in rotary kilns.

In this case, the formation of magnesioferrite at the preliminary firing stage is undesirable, since magnesioferrite increases the strength of the material and, therefore, complicates further grinding at the stage of preparing the charge of the starting materials. In addition, magnesioferrite is a passivated element that does not participate in the formation of a given structure during the final firing of proppant precursor granules. Thus, conducting preliminary firing in a reducing atmosphere prevents undesirable oxidation of FeO and, as a result, the formation of magnesioferrite to the stage of final firing.

We have patent technology for high quality ceramic proppant (frac sand) production plant, welcome to contact us for full design and solutions based on your specific requirements.
Quartz sand proppant (fracture sand or frac sand) is primarily used in hydraulic fracturing operations in the oil and gas industry. It is used to prop open fractures in rock formations, allowing oil and gas to flow more freely to the wellbore.
The proppant is typically mixed with a fluid and pumped into the well under high pressure, causing the rock to fracture. The proppant then fills the fractures, holding them open and allowing oil and gas to flow through.
Quartz sand proppant is preferred for hydraulic fracturing because it is strong and durable, able to withstand high pressures and temperatures without breaking down. It also has a uniform size and shape, which helps to optimize flow through the fractures.
The production of quartz sand proppant typically involves the following steps:
1. Mining and crushing: The raw quartz sand is mined from a quarry or a mine and then crushed into smaller pieces to facilitate processing.
2. Washing and grading: The crushed quartz sand is then washed to remove impurities and graded according to particle size.
3. Drying: The washed and graded quartz sand is then dried to remove any remaining moisture.
4. Sintering: The dried quartz sand is then sintered at high temperatures to form small, spherical particles known as proppants.
5. Coating: Some proppants are coated with a resin or other material to improve their performance in hydraulic fracturing.
6. Packaging: The finished proppants are then packaged and shipped to oil and gas exploration sites for use in hydraulic fracturing operations.
