Device for the separation of undesired exhaust gas components

A device for separating undesired exhaust gas components from a fluid, said device comprising:

• a reactor with a reaction chamber, said reactor having a top and a bottom;
• said top having a means for introducing a granular adsorption medium;
• said bottom comprising first and second oppositely slanted sidewalls arranged with longitudinal extensions thereof parallel to one another and forming between each of said first and second sidewalls a trough open in a direction toward said top, said trough having removal funnels, each having a funnel mouth, for removing the granular adsorption medium;
• said bottom further having fluid inflow openings for admitting a fluid into said reaction chamber, said funnel mouths and said fluid inflow openings arranged alternatingly in said troughs, wherein said funnel mouths of neighboring ones of said troughs are arranged to from a grid structure;
• and
• said bottom further having distributing elements for covering said fluid inflow openings positioned above said fluid inflow openings, said distributing elements having a shape selected from the group consisting of a pyramid, a cone, a pyramid sector, and a cone sector, said distributing elements having lower edges that are spaced in the vertical direction at least with portions of said lower edges from said oppositely slanted sidewalls for delimiting said fluid inflow openings.
