Sorptive gas separators can employ contactors having various sorbents blended together. The various sorbents used to make a blended sorbent contactor can be selected for their various physical and chemical properties, which will allow operators to customize formulations and structural configurations to obtain optimum performance of sorptive gas separators using blended sorbents.

Disclosed are embodiments of a cabin filter system including a sorbent material for removing gas and/or water from a cabin. The filter system also includes at least one heater configured to transmit thermal energy (e.g., microwave energy) to the sorbent material. Also disclosed are methods of using such filter systems.
