Abstract

Abstract The acid resistance of fracturing proppant can be effectively improved by adding BaCO 3 and reducing SiO 2 . An acid-resistant proppant was created in a BaO–CaO–P 2 O 5 –Al 2 O 3 system without SiO 2 to increase the proppant’s acid resistance. The effects of corrosion on the properties and microstructure of the proppant were investigated using a hydrofluoric–hydrochloric acid mixture (12 wt.% HCl + 3 wt.% HF). The morphology, structure, and phase analysis of several samples were investigated using SEM and XRD. The results show that in a BaO–CaO–P 2 O 5 –Al 2 O 3 system this proppant has good acid resistance. The corrosion resistance mechanism of this ceramic material is also discussed.
