A hygroscopic particle device 1, 2 consisting of a plurality of component robust enclosed shell 1 particles made from a water permeable substance whose innards are a water soluble hygroscopic substance 2. By diffusion of the mobile water species from the component particles, the particles spontaneously suspend themselves in a free pure water volume. Enclosing the component particles by a filtration membrane 4 admits the free pure water volume but holds back the particles. The device has application to the following: wet scrubbers, dehumidifiers, water desalination/purification, artificial self irrigating soils and energy production. |
