Author Correction: Three-dimensional quantitative fracture analysis of tight gas sandstones using industrial computed tomography.

abstract：:The ability to induce reversible phase transitions between homogeneous solutions and biphasic liquid-liquid systems, at pre-defined and suitable operating temperatures, is of crucial relevance in the design of separation processes. Ionic-liquid-based aqueous biphasic systems (IL-based ABS) have demonstrated superior p...
