Abstract

The invention provides a method and apparatus for recovering a target material including using an adsorbent such as activated charcoal, the target material recovered in a continuous manner, as well as a method and an apparatus for recovering a solvent based on such a method and apparatus. The adsorbent for the target material is rotated to move the adsorbed material in direction of centrifugal force while the target material is attracted to the adsorbent. The excess target material is detached from a peripheral edge of the adsorbent by centrifugal force. The detached material is recovered by a recovery device provided in corresponding relation to the adsorbent.
