Claim 12:
13. A method for removing water from a fluid stream, the method comprising:
passing a fluid stream comprising water over regenerable nanostructured porous material configured to adsorb water from an inlet stream at a first-pressure and to release water when subjected to a second pressure, wherein the second pressure is lower than the first pressure;
placing the regenerable nanostructured porous material under the first pressure;
transferring heat from the regenerable nanostructured porous material while the regenerable nanostructured porous material is under the first pressure;
placing the regenerable nanostructured porous material under the second pressure; and
transferring heat to the regenerable nanostructured porous material while the regenerable nanostructured porous material is under the second pressure.
