PCT No. PCT/EP95/01401 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 27, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 27, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 13, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/29114 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 2, 1995An adsorption medium reactor has a plurality of removal hoppers for removing flowable adsorption medium from the reactor. Each one of the removal hoppers has at least one removal opening. A common collecting funnel is arranged below the removal openings of the removal hoppers. The common collecting funnel has a removal device for emptying the common collecting funnel. Each one of the removal openings of the removal hoppers is slot-shaped and has two parallel-extending limiting edges. A rotary gate with at least one gate chamber is arranged below each one of the removal openings. The rotary gate is limited by a substantially cylindrical circumferential wall. The cylindrical circumferential wall has a plurality of inlet/outlet openings adapted to a cross-section of the corresponding removal opening. The inlet/outlet openings are arranged in a row axially adjacent to one another parallel to an axis of rotation of the rotary gate. The rotary gate is arranged such and a size of the cylindrical circumferential wall is selected such that all of the inlet/outlet openings arranged in a row communicate in one rotary position with the corresponding removal opening and in at least one other rotary position allow for emptying of the bulk material from the gate chamber under the force of gravity. In at least one other position the removal opening is closed off by the circumferential wall forming a closure body.
