1. A method for removing a moistening liquid from a moistened medium, the moistening liquid having a moistening-liquid boiling point, comprising:

  • providing a liquid-blocking barrier having a first surface and a second surface that is impermeable to a heating liquid;

    bringing a surface of the moistened medium into contact with the first surface of the liquid-blocking barrierbringing the heating liquid into contact with the second surface of the liquid-blocking barrier, the heating liquid being at a temperature greater than the moistening-liquid boiling point, such that heat is transferred through the liquid-blocking barrier from the heating liquid to the moistening liquid, thereby vaporizing the moistening liquid and removing it from the moistened medium.
