Artificial proppant and ceramic proppant compared

a)ceramic proppant supplier high artificial proppant relative particle density, such as: quartz sand is 2.60 g / cm3 ~ 2.70 g / cm3, but ceramic sand is of 2.80 g / cm3 ~ 3.60 g / cm3. Therefore, the performance of fracturing fluid (such as viscosity, rheology, etc.) and pumping conditions (such as displacement, power equipment, etc.) have put forward higher requirements. Ceramic proppant manufacturers

 b)Ceramic proppants the relative density of the particles depends on the material and the compressive strength of aluminum oxide content. With the increase of the content of aluminum oxide, ceramic of high density, compressive strength increases, so the two should get a balance. On the other hand, under the same conditions as the aluminum content of materials, processing technology (powder fineness, semi-intensity, sintering temperature) is the key to controlling the ceramic quality. Therefore, ceramic materials selection and manufacturing processes than other proppants demanding, much more complex.
 C) artificial ceramic proppant relative wear, high price.
