In a gas purification method wherein gas, containing at least one contaminant and/or noxious component, is contacted with a solid sorption agent which selectively attracts the contaminant and/or noxious component and is subsequently separated from the solid sorption agent, the improvement comprising introducing the solid sorption agent, in purverulent form, into the flowing stream of the gas and then subjecting such stream, containing the solid sorption agent, to intense turbulence, by diverting the stream outwardly by a cone and then inwardly by a frusto-conical ring, before separating the solid sorption agent therefrom.
