the manufacturing of artificial beads. In fact, ceramic beads provide enhanced service, compared to sand, due to uniform size and shape and higher strength [3]; however, high performance proppants, such as alumina-based proppants, are particularly disputable, for the use of commodity minerals (e.g. bauxite) in

Resin-coated sand proppants are sand that has been coated in a resin to make the surface smoother and more uniform. The coating process also enhances its strength. Ceramic proppants, meanwhile, feature the greatest uniformity in structure and the highest strength due to the highly controlled nature of its manufacturing.

An extrusion method and apparatus are described for producing ceramics, glass, glass-ceramics, or composites suitable for use as proppants. The method includes forming one or more green body materials, extruding the green body materials to form a green body extrudate, separating and shaping the green body extrudate into individual green bodies, and sintering the green bodies to form proppants.

A proppant is a solid material, typically sand, treated sand or man-made ceramic materials, designed to keep an induced hydraulic fracture open, during or following a fracturing treatment. It is added to a fracking fluid which may vary in composition depending on the type of fracturing used, and can be gel, or slickwater–based. In addition, there may be unconventional fracking fluids.

Frac sand plays an important role in the process of fracturing the shale to release natural gas, oil, and natural gas liquids from pores in the rock. When the high-pressure water stream forces the small perforations to become larger fractures, frac sand holds these fractures open to continue releasing fossil fuels.
