Abstract: A device for separation of fluid species is disclosed. The device comprises at least one header connected to a monoblock. The header transitions one or more fluid streams between bulk flow and multi-channel flow patterns using a transition element. The header is attached to a monoblock, which conditions an untreated process fluid stream by adjusting the temperature of, and/or separating at least a portion of one or more fluid species from, the untreated process fluid stream. Fluid separation is accomplished by the use of high boiling point liquids infused into the pore structure of the monoblock with the outputs being a conditioned process fluid stream and an exhaust fluid stream. Methods of making the device and methods of using the device to separate at least a portion of fluid species from a process fluid stream are also disclosed.

Abstract: A paper material having water sorption capacity and method for forming the same is provided. The paper material may be formed from a mixture including thermoplastic organic fibers, micro porous particles, and hydroscopic salt or a mixture including organic fibers, titania or a transition alumina micro porous particles, and a hydroscopic salt. The paper may be produced by forming an aqueous slurry, including organic fibers and micro porous particles, mixing the slurry, feeding the mixed slurry into a paper making apparatus thereby forming a sheet, contacting the sheet with a solution containing an amount of hydroscopic salt, and drying the hydroscopic salt containing solution.
