A honeycomb rotor recovery and concentration device recovers carbon dioxide gas from flue gas and the like. A carbon dioxide sorption honeycomb rotor is rotated in a casing that is separately sealed at least into a sorption zone and a desorption zone, and the honeycomb in the sorption zone is brought into contact with a raw material gas containing carbon dioxide in a wet state to sorb carbon dioxide gas. A desorption circulation circuit circulates from an outlet to an inlet of the desorption zone. Water supplied to a heater in the circuit is evaporated to form saturated steam, which is supplied to the desorption zone. In the desorption zone, carbon dioxide gas is desorbed by contact with the saturated steam. The design may make it possible to use low-temperature exhaust heat, and this may achieve reduction in size, high performance and high efficiency at the same time.
