Abstract

An apparatus for removing moisture and odors comprising a cylindrical honeycomb structure made by corrugation from paper uniformly containing an adsorbent, including a multiplicity of parallel gas passageways and having deposited thereon a water absorbent at least at one side thereof serving as an outlet for the gas to be treated, a number of the gas passageways being separated as a dehumidifying and deodorizing zone from the other passageways serving as a regenerating zone, the dehumidifying and deodorizing zone being continuously shiftable throughout the entire honeycomb structure circumferentially thereof to render the honeycomb structure serviceable, from portion to portion, as the dehumidifying and deodorizing zone provided by the number of passageways.
