Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a method for separating a first amount of liquid into a plurality of second amounts of liquid, the method comprising the steps of bringing the first amount of liquid (210) into contact with at least one first fibre (110) being arranged substantially vertical, allowing the first amount of liquid to drain of the first fibre, thereby forming a coating film on the fibre, allowing the coating film to decompose, thereby forming a plurality of second amounts of liquid (220), and allowing the second amounts of liquid to drain of the first fibre and being captured at a crossing point (130) being constituted by the first fibre and at least one second fibre (120) being arranged substantially perpendicular to the first fibre and touching the first fibre. Furthermore, the invention relates to an apparatus for separating a first amount of liquid into a plurality of second amounts of liquid.
