Abstract

In the USA, chemical engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed high-efficiency, durable filters to improve mobile water-recycling systems used in hydraulic fracturing - the oil and gas drilling process known as fracking. According to the researchers, the filters may significantly reduce the amount of water and energy that fracking requires.
