Conventional deep-fracturing ceramic proppants face bauxite resource shortages, requiring economical and sustainable substitutes. Massive annually produced waste glass suffers from low recycling and induces environmental hazards. Herein, material from waste glass (MFWG) are fabricated via the flame spheroidization. The as-prepared materials deliver crush resistance and fracture conductivity on a par with commercial high-performance ceramic proppants. Microscopic observations verify that MFWG feature near-perfect sphericity and smooth surfaces, which enables dense particle packing inside propped fractures. Further theoretical analysis reveals that such surface-governed dense packing regulates fracture conductivity by reducing bulk porosity and optimizing the geometric morphology and interconnection of internal pore channels. Overall, this work provides a sustainable, high-performance alternative that addresses both waste valorization and resource security.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.6c07294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]],"date-time":"2026-08-17T10:02:15Z","timestamp":1786960935000},"page":"52041-52050","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Sustainable High-Strength Proppants Derived from Waste\nGlass via Flame Spheroidization: Performance Evaluation and Fracture\nConductivity Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3890-9223","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rui","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Southwest Petroleum University , , ,","place":["Chengdu, China, 610500"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chongzhen","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southwest Petroleum University , , ,","place":["Chengdu, China, 610500"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lianghui","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chengdu Kewo Tai Energy Technology Co., Ltd. , ,","place":["Chengdu, China, 610051"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2371-7368","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yi","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of British Columbia , , , ,","place":["Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6T 1Z3"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lingxiang","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Downhole Service Company, CNPC Chuanqing Drilling Engineering Co., Ltd. , , ,","place":["Chengdu, Sichuan, China, 610213"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southwest Petroleum University , , ,","place":["Chengdu, China, 610500"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhaokang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Haiwo Petroleum Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. , ,","place":["Chengdu, China, 610500"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2911-2175","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Qi","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southwest Petroleum University , , ,","place":["Chengdu, China, 610500"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"2026090307193577600_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1451","DOI":"10.1021\/acssuschemeng.1c06610","article-title":"Strategic Planning for Optimal Management of Different\nTypes of Shale Gas Wastewater","volume":"10","author":"Serrano-Areva\u0301lo","year":"2022","journal-title":"ACS Sustain.\nChem.
