Popis: Hydraulic fracturing is a process which is used for stimulation of the impermeable rocks in order to release the trapped natural gas. Flowback fluid contains many different chemical ingredients used in fracturing process; it holds also compounds leached from the bedrock. The production of a large amount of toxic fluids causes necessity of purification for recycling to reduce environmental impact. In this paper the results of studies on purification of flowback fluids by combination of various processes as filtration, advanced oxidation, and ion exchange are presented. The technological scheme of the treatment is proposed.
