  • Methods To Make Ceramic Proppants
    Publication number: 20170275525
    Abstract: Included are methods to make ceramic proppants. The methods comprise coating green proppants with at least one reactive alumina or zirconium agent, such as gamma alumina. Also included are green proppants and liquid-phase sintered proppants made with the use of the reactive agent. Further included are uses for these proppants, such as in the oil and gas recovery areas.
