Surface Chemistry and Geochemistry of Hydraulic FracturingAuthor(s): K. S. Birdi\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9780367516000, 978-0367516000\nSynopsis\nUnique 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.\n\nThe aim of this book is to help engineers and research scientists recognize the basic surface chemistry principles related to this subject.\n\nWritten 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.
