Abstract: The inventive vortex apparatus for carrying out physical-chemical processes is used for. absorption, desorption, dust and gas removal, drying, mixing and gas cooling. Said apparatus comprises a body, lid, bottom, phase delivery and discharging pipes, a vortex contact device having an upper base, tangential plates, a tray, a separator and liquid distributors which are provided with nozzles and arranged on the lid and on the upper base of the vortex contact device. Horizontal disklike partitions are positioned along the height of the tangential plates of the vortex contact device. Said horizontal disklike partitions and the upper base of the vortex contact device are provided with annular slots where the tangential plates are fixed. Annular beads are arranged on the outer and inner cuts of the disklike partitions and on the outer cut of said vortex device's upper base.
