1. A method of adsorbing a component of a medium, the method comprising:
- contacting a medium with a hollow fiber comprising a plurality of tortuous pathways, a sorbent material in fluid communication with the plurality of tortuous pathways, a lumen disposed within the hollow fiber, and a barrier layer lining the lumen to prevent fluid communication between the lumen and the plurality of tortuous pathways; and
selectively adsorbing a component of the medium with the sorbent material.
