A plurality of adsorbent mass compartments are provided and are arranged sectorially about and fixed to a support shaft rotating about an axis, and collection chambers are provided radially internally and externally of each adsorbent compartment. Gas circulation is provided radially through each adsorbent compartment as it rotates about a stationary gas distribution unit.
