Unique in focus, this book 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 in this book, including the adsorptiondesorption of gas on the shale reservoir surface and relevant waste-water treatment dependent on various surface chemistry principles. Written by a long-time expert in the field, it presents an unbiased account of the hard science and engineering involved in a resource gaining growing attention in the field.
