Abstract:
Described are wrapped fluid treatment elements, comprising: a composite material; an interleaf; and an inner core; wherein the composite material and the interleaf form layers wrapped around the inner core. The composite material and interleaf may be wrapped in a spiral configuration around the inner core. The invention also relates to a method of separating a substance from a fluid, comprising the step of placing the fluid in contact with an inventive device or element, thereby adsorbing or absorbing the substance to the composite material contained therein.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of separating a substance from a fluid, comprising the steps of:\n placing a first fluid comprising a substance in a first opening of a fluid treatment device, wherein the fluid treatment device comprises a housing unit comprising: (a) the first opening and a second opening; (b) a fluid flow path between the first opening and the second opening; and (c) a wrapped fluid treatment element comprising composite material and interleaf forming layers wrapped around an inner core, wherein the composite material comprises\n a support member comprising a plurality of pores extending through the support member; and \n a non-self-supporting macroporous cross-linked gel comprising macropores having an average diameter of 10 nm to 3000 nm, said macroporous gel being located in the pores of the support member, \n said macropores of said macroporous cross-linked gel are smaller than said pores of said support member; \n the inner core is a cylinder, wherein the cylinder is capped or sealed at both ends; the layer adjacent to the inner core is a first layer of interleaf; the first opening is an inlet; and\n the wrapped fluid treatment element is oriented across the fluid flow path such that the first fluid entering the first opening must flow through at least one layer of composite material and at least one layer of interleaf before exiting the second opening, wherein the fluid flow path of the first fluid is radially inward towards the inner core, \n thereby adsorbing or absorbing the substance to the composite material and producing a permeate, which flows along a fluid flow path parallel to the first layer of interleaf to the outlet; and \n collecting the permeate from the second opening of the fluid treatment device.
