Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19850557A1] The invention relates to a method for separating condensable substances from gases or gas mixtures, e.g. for separating water from atmospheric air, especially for obtaining drinking water. The air is condensed on a given material. Said material has a defined porous structure suitable for capillary condensation. The occurring binding energies are lower than the ones produced during adsorption condensation.
