Separate water vapor from atmospheric air

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around methods to separate water vapor from atmospheric air, specifically focusing on maintaining it in gaseous form rather than condensing it into liquid water. The context includes potential applications in thermophotolysis for producing oxygen and hydrogen.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests there is a simple method to separate water vapor from air while keeping it in gas form.
  • Another participant questions whether the initial statement is a statement or a question, indicating some ambiguity in the phrasing.
  • A different participant proposes that boiling the water after condensing it is a possible approach, implying a method of separation but not addressing the original request for gaseous separation.
  • A later reply emphasizes the importance of the question for the participant's interest in thermophotolysis of water vapor to obtain oxygen and hydrogen, suggesting a specific application for the separation process.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the method of separation, and multiple interpretations and approaches are presented without resolution.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks clarity on the specific methods proposed for separating water vapor in gas form and does not address the underlying assumptions or definitions related to the separation process.

There is a simple method to separate the water vapor from the atmospheric air, however, in the form of gas and not of condensed water?

Is it a statement, or a question?
 
Assuming the first two words are reversed...

You can always boil the water after condensing it.
 
Excuse my english; this is a question very important for me,
because j start from water vapor for termophotolysis of water vapor
for obtain oxygen and hydrogen...
