[0002] Shale gas refers to mature dark shale or high-carbon shale rich in organic matter, in which natural gas of commercial value of biological origin, pyrolysis origin and mixed origin is stored and preserved due to adsorption of organic matter or existence of cracks and matrix pores in the rock. Shale gas is continuously generated biogas, thermogenic gas or a mixture of the two, which exists in natural cracks and pores in a free state, on the surface of cheese root and clay particles in an adsorbed state, and in a small amount in cheese root and asphaltene in a dissolved state, and the proportion of free gas is generally 20%-85%. Shale gas is a clean, low-carbon and high-reserve natural gas energy, which has a broad application prospect.

[0003] In the related art, hydraulic fracturing technology is usually used for shale gas exploitation. Specifically, in the process of shale gas exploitation, the fracturing fluid is injected into the well by using the hydraulic fracturing technology, and the injected water in the formation will be returned and discharged at different stages of shale gas production, that is, fracturing return fluid and produced water, collectively referred to as produced water. The fracturing return fluid return stage has the characteristics of large water discharge, low salt content and large amount of suspended solids, but the continuous period is short. Then enter the produced water return stage, the water discharge gradually decreases, the salt content gradually increases, the content of divalent metal ions continuously increases, and the suspended solids greatly decrease. The water quality of produced water fluctuates greatly, because the fracturing fluid used in hydraulic fracturing operation contains a large amount of high molecular polymer, in addition to the components of the fracturing fluid, the produced water also contains pollutants such as silt, and the salinity mainly composed of sodium chloride gradually increases, and some areas of the formation may contain heavy metals and radioactive elements with the return of the produced water.
