Inhibition of Microbial Growth and Biofilm Formation in Pure and Mixed Bacterial Samples [PDF]
MicroorganismsHydraulic fracturing, or fracking, requires large amounts of water to extract fossil fuel from rock formations. As a result of hydraulic fracturing, the briny wastewater, often termed back-produced fracturing or fracking water (FW), is pumped into ...

IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF SILICA SAND AS A PROPPANT FOR HYDRAULIC FRACKING INDUSTRY PURPOSES
Rudarsko-geološko-naftni ZbornikA technological silica sand sample that belongs to “Egypt’s Future Quarries”, south west Cairo, was investigated as a proppant for the hydraulic fracking industry. The sample showed encouraging physical and mechanical characteristics, yet it was still in

Hydraulic “Fracking”: Are surface water impacts an ecological concern? [PDF]
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2014 Abstract Use of high-volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) in unconventional reservoirs to recover previously inaccessible oil and natural gas is rapidly expanding in North America and elsewhere. Although hydraulic fracturing has been practiced for decades, the advent of more technologically advanced ...

Framing ‘fracking’: Exploring public perceptions of hydraulic fracturing in the United Kingdom [PDF]
Public Understanding of Science, 2016 The prospect of fracking in the United Kingdom has been accompanied by significant public unease. We outline how the policy debate is being framed by UK institutional actors, finding evidence of a dominant discourse in which the policy approach is defined through a deficit model of public understanding of science and in which a technical approach to ...

Hydraulic fracturing in cells and tissues: fracking meets cell biology [PDF]
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2017 The animal body is largely made of water. A small fraction of body water is freely flowing in blood and lymph, but most of it is trapped in hydrogels such as the extracellular matrix (ECM), the cytoskeleton, and chromatin. Besides providing a medium for biological molecules to diffuse, water trapped in hydrogels plays a fundamental mechanical role ...

Optimization of Carbon Dioxide Foam Fracturing Technology for Shale Gas Reservoir
Geofluids, 2023 Major shale gas exploration and development fields are located in the Sichuan basin. It requires huge water sources for shale gas fracking, but the well sites are mostly in the hills, which limits the industrialization of shale gas development.
