1407896CannonHydrofracturing is a relatively new area with respect to shale-gas extraction. It holds the promise for the US becoming an energy exporter; however, it is also possible that the extraction of shale gas and the methods used for extracting shale gas may adversely impact water resources in the US. Therefore, it is extremely important that technologies to treat/remediate the process and produced water be found. An important aspect of Environmental Engineering and associated programs, is to insure that every effort is made to minimize adverse environmental impact from hydrofracturing. This proposal addresses a new technology to minimize adverse environmental impact.The team will separate salts from water by applying a supercharged pulsed jet (SPJ) to hydrofracturing water. This water may be either process or produced water. The process, once developed fully will be simple, as the SPJ system is merely of a 3-foot long tube, consisting of a rapidly alternating air-fuel intake, and a brine discharge nozzle. This SPJ system will help American energy-independence, with new hydrofracturing in PA, TX, WY, CO, WV, LA, and other places, thus, it will have applications in many states. In preliminary tests with this SPJ, the research team processed hydrofracturing water (i.e., brine) that contained 12.6 % solids. From this, the team captured 60 % of the brine?s salts onto a steel mesh. Also, the water was atomized into a mist while using just 17 % of the energy needed to ideally boil water at 1 atm pressure.With respect to the broader impacts of this project the PI will continue to serve as the PI of Penn State's Sloan Minority Scholarship Program. This Sloan program will provide a year's funding to 16 Minority Ph. D. students in STEM disciplines during the course of the project.

1407896Cannon水力压裂是页岩气开采方面相对较新的领域。 它为美国成为能源出口国提供了希望；然而，页岩气的开采和页岩气的开采方法也可能对美国的水资源产生不利影响。因此，找到处理/修复工艺水和采出水的技术极其重要。 环境工程和相关计划的一个重要方面是确保尽一切努力尽量减少水力压裂对环境的不利影响。 该提案提出了一种新技术，可最大限度地减少对环境的不利影响。该团队将通过对水力压裂水应用增压脉冲射流（SPJ）来从水中分离盐。该水可以是工艺水或采出水。一旦完全开发出来，这个过程就会很简单，因为 SPJ 系统只有一根 3 英尺长的管子，由快速交替的空气-燃料入口和盐水排放喷嘴组成。该SPJ系统将有助于美国的能源独立，在PA、TX、WY、CO、WV、LA等地进行新的水力压裂，因此它将在许多州得到应用。在使用该 SPJ 的初步测试中，研究团队处理了含有 12.6% 固体的水力压裂水（即盐水）。由此，该团队将 60% 的盐水盐捕获到钢网上。此外，水被雾化成雾，而仅使用在 1 个大气压下理想地煮沸水所需能量的 17%。关于该项目的更广泛影响，PI 将继续担任宾夕法尼亚州立大学斯隆少数派的 PI奖学金计划。斯隆管理学院的该项目将在项目进行期间为 16 名 STEM 学科的少数族裔博士生提供一年的资助。
