The invention discloses a method for preparing a composite type fracturing propping agent by utilizing
gold ore tailings and
zirconium oxide. The method comprises the steps of mixing the
gold ore tailings,
alumina powders and high-temperature
zirconium oxide chopped fibers, then adding gum water solution, mixing uniformly, conducting
wet grinding and then pelleting; putting particles into
alumina crucible and arranging into a
silicon carbide rod
resistor furnace, heating to 1230 DEG C from the
room temperature at the heating speed being 5 DEG C / min-10 DEG C / min, keeping the temperature for 0.5h-1h, heating to 1350 DEG C-1400 DEG C at the heating speed being 5 DEG C / min-7 DEG C / min, keeping the temperature for 2h-3h; and cooling the particles in the furnace and then taking out the particles, and screening the particles by a 20-40 meshes
sieve so as to obtain the composite type fracturing propping agent. According to the method, fibers (
crystal whiskers) necessary for enhancing the strength and
toughness is provided by integrating the concept of composite materials integrated with a non-compact
ceramic propping agent and adopting the high-temperature reaction
self generation mode, and the composite type fracturing propping agent with high strength, high
toughness,
low density and low damage rate is prepared by two measures, namely
fiber reinforcement and particle reinforcement.
