PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To lessen the unevenness of an adsorbent, to control the humidity, and to remove harmful substances by dividing a cylindrical container in many chambers in number within a specified range along the gas flow direction, filling the respective chambers with adsorbents of such as a zeolite and silica gel, and rotating the cylindrical container on the axis. SOLUTION: A cylindrical container is divided in 5-10 chambers along the gas flow direction, the respective chambers are filled with adsorbents containing at least one of zeolites and silica gel, and the cylindrical container is so composed as to be rotatable on the center axis. That is, an adsorption element 1 is composed by dividing the inside of a cylindrical container with a large number of partitions 2 radially from the center axis into many chambers, for example 8 chambers and filling the respective chambers with a large number of adsorbents 3. Following to the rotation of the adsorption element 1 on the axis, respective components such as steam and organic substances in a gas are adsorbed by the respective adsorbents 3 in the upper half part and then the lower half part is heated to desorb the respective components adsorbed on the respective adsorbents 3.
