Hydraulic Fracking Research Paper and Why the process of Fracking is bad for our environment Kimberly Ricker Park University Abstract This paper explores the hydraulic fracturing process‚ exactly what it is‚ what the fracturing process does to the earth and the surrounding environment in addition‚ to the consequences. Hydraulic fracturing is fracturing of rock by pressurization. This process by which oil and natural gas can be forced from the earth. The

Filtration is commonly the mechanical or physical operation which is used for the separation of solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by interposing a medium through which only the fluid can pass. Oversize solids in the fluid are retained‚ but the separation is not complete; solids will be contaminated with some fluid and filtrate will contain fine particles (depending on the pore size and filter thickness). Filtration is also used to describe some biological processes‚ especially in water treatment and sewage

conventional technology. Recent advancements in Fracking technology have propelled America to the forefront of natural gas extraction. By this method‚ the shale rock is punctured with a high pressure fluid‚ causing it to rupture and allow the movement of petroleum and brine. After the fluid fractures the rock‚ the pressure is removed as well‚ and small pieces of aluminum oxide (hydraulic fluid) hold the fractures open. The shale rock‚ permeable to all natural gases‚ then is

Inflammation is a protective response by the body towards cell injury‚ irritation‚ infection and can accumulate fluids with the following signs and symptoms: redness‚ warmth‚ swelling and pain. Inflammation is therefore the body’s way of attempting to remove the primary cause of inflammation and any damage that may have occurred as a result (healing and repair) (Drake et al.‚ 2007). Today numerous drugs are used to treat conditions of inflammation such as narcotics (opioids)‚ and non narcotics (salicylates)

Cataracts Subject: Solutions to the problem of Cataracts. Cataracts is a condition that affects the eye due to an opacity of the internal focusing lens that can cause visual impairment due to light not being able to reach the retina. It is due to irreversible structural changes to the order of the fibres that the lens is made from due to coagulation and denaturing of the lens fibres. [9] It affects image clarity and causes a decline in image detail. However it almost never causes complete blindness

the world and it is primarily composed of clay and fragments of other minerals such as quartz and calcite. Shale can be the source‚ reservoir and the seal for natural gas. Shale formations normally have low permeability (limited ability for gas or fluids to flow easily through the shale formation) and normally require stimulation techniques (such as fracturing) to economically produce shale gas. Shale gas is natural gas that is attached to‚ or "adsorbed" onto‚ organic matter or is contained in thin

POLYPHENOLS CONTENT AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY IN SKY FRUIT (Fructus Swietenia macrophylla) KERNELS AND SEED COATS ABSTRACT In all aerobic organisms‚ production of free radical is balanced by antioxidant defense system. Antioxidants are very important in terms of preventing oxidative stress that may lead to several degenerative diseases. Studies have been done on the sky fruit leaves‚ bark and seeds and they were reported to have many medicinal value. The aim of this study is to evaluate

the ocean bed alone. It is because deposits found in the seams spread along the sea floor. Here‚ the hydrothermal vents eject rich concentrations of metals and minerals. The geysers found underneath eject fluids that exhibit temperatures greater than 600 degrees Celsius. The moment these fluids hit icy water‚ the minerals are precipitated‚ and they fall onto the ocean floor. The deposits are of greater value since they can yield up to ten times the minerals on land. They exist in the form of rocks
