Birdi K.S. Surface Chemistry and Geochemistry of Hydraulic Fracturing

CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC, 2017. — 194 p. — ISBN10: 1482257181Unique in focus, Surface Chemistry and Geochemistry of Hydraulic Fracturing examines the surface chemistry and phenomena in the hydrofracking process. Under great scrutiny as of late, the physico-chemical properties of hydrofracking are fully detailed and explained. Topics include the adsorption-desorption of gas on the shale reservoir surface and relevant waste-water treatment dependent on various surface chemistry principles.
The aim of this book is to help engineers and research scientists recognize the basic surface chemistry principles related to this subject.
Written by a long-time expert in the field, this book presents an unbiased account of the hard science and engineering involved in a resource that is gaining growing attention within the community.
