The invention relates to coated support means for fracking mining methods, containing an inorganic substrate material and a coating containing polymers of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers from the group containing vinyl esters of unbranched or branched alkyl carboxylic acids with 1 to 15 C atoms, methacrylic acid esters and acrylic acid esters of alcohols with 1 to 15 C atoms, vinyl aromatics, olefins, dienes and vinyl halides, characterised in that the polymers are obtained by means of radical-initiated polymerisation in an aqueous medium, wherein 0.5 to 20 wt. % of ethylenically unsaturated and silane group-containing monomers are copolymerised, in relation to the total weight of the monomers.

A coated powder comprises (a) nanoparticles, and (b) a coating, on the surface of the nanoparticles. The coating comprises (1) silica moieties, (2) organo oxysilane moieties selected from the group consisting of mono-organo oxysilane moieties, bi-organo oxysilane moieties and tri-organo oxysilane moieties, and (3) poly(dialkyl)siloxane moieties.

Materials which react with (scavenge) sulfur compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans, are useful for limiting sulfur-induced corrosion. Surface-modified particles incorporating a hexahydrotriazine moiety are disclosed and used as sulfur scavengers. These surface-modified particles are used a filter media in fixed filter systems and as additives to fluids including sulfur compounds. The hexahydrotriazine moiety can react with sulfur compounds in such a manner as to bind sulfur atoms to the surface-modified particles, thus allowing removal of the sulfur atoms from fluids such as crude oil, natural gas, hydrocarbon combustion exhaust gases, sulfur polluted air and water. The surface-modified particles may, in general, be sized to allow separation of the particles from the process fluid by sedimentation, size-exclusion filtration or the like.

A method for manufacturing a graphitic sheet is used to obtain the graphitic sheet with similar characteristics to graphene. The method includes forming an ocatadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) layer on a substrate to obtain a composite. The composite is annealed at 250-400 C. for 30-90 minutes, forming the graphitic sheet on the substrate via self-assembly of ocatadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) in the OTS layer. The annealed composite is immersed in water, followed by being sonicated for 2 minutes with a frequency of 40 kHz and a power output of 200 W, to separate the graphitic sheet from the substrate.
