Abstract: 1. Filter or catalytic-converter device in which the greatest possible amount of a fluid medium in a housing is brought into contact with the surface of the device in the housing with openings in the direction of flow of the mediums said device comprises fixed parts (24; 124; 224) and moving parts (22; 122; 322), and the fluid medium is guided in such a manner that it flows alternately through fixed parts (24; 124; 224) and moving parts (22; 122; 322) of the device. 2. Device according to Claim 1, wherein said moving parts (22, 122, 322) are arranged enabling to rotate in the housing, being cylindrical (10, 110, 210, 310). 3. Device according to Claim 2, wherein the rotation axis of said moving parts (22, 122, 322) is coaxial with the cylindrical housing. 4. Device according to Claims 1-3, wherein a driving means (20) is mounted on one end surfaces of the cylinder. 5. Device according to Claims 1-4, wherein said moving parts (22, 322) are disc-shaped and fixed parts (24, 224) arranged between them are plane. 6. Device according to Claim 5, wherein on one end side of the cylinder a connection (12, 112) is provided for gas injection, and a connection (14, 114) for gas outlet is provided on the opposite side of the cylinder. 7. Device according to Claim 5 or 6 wherein said openings are arranged in moving (22, 322) and fixed (24, 324) parts, being opposite each other and arranged in circular-like zones. 8. Device according to Claim 5, 6 or 7 wherein said moving parts are set on one shaft (18, 318). 9. Device according to Claim 6, 7 or 8 wherein rotation axis of said moving parts (22, 322) is horizontal, said connection (12) for gas injection and said connection (14) for gas outlet are located on the upper side of the housing (10, 210, 310), while on the bottom side an additional opening (16) are provided for separated fluid. 10. Device according to one of Claims 1-4 wherein said moving (122) and fixed (124) parts are hollow-shaped cylinders and arranged alternatively and coaxially. 11. Device according to Claim 10, wherein said connection (112) for gas injection is located on the side surface of the cylinder, and the connection for gas outlet is located on the end side of the cylinder. 12. Device according to Claim 10 or 11, wherein said openings are located in accordingly opposite zones (126) of moving (122) and fixed (124) members. 13. Device according to Claim 10, 11 or 12, wherein said moving members (122), having the shape of hollow cylinders, are set on a general driving bearing disc (119). 14. Device according to Claim 10, 11, 12 0r 13, wherein an outlet opening (116) is provided on the bottom side of the housing for separated fluid 15. Device according to one of Claims 1-14, wherein fixed (24, 124, 224) and/or moving (22, 122, 322) parts are made as perforated plates. 16. Device according to one of Claims 1-15, wherein fixed (24, 124, 224) and/or moving (22, 122, 322) parts are made as grids. 17. Device according to one of Claims 1-16, wherein an electrical motor (20) is provided as a driving means. 18. Device according to one of Claims 1-17, wherein fixed and/or moving (224, 322) parts are made hollow and connected with a feeding device (200, 300) for auxiliary gas. 19. Device according to Claim 18, wherein moving (322) parts are made hollow and have outlet openings for auxiliary gas which are formed by convexities (348) as a dome, said convexities which are increased against direction of rotation thus forming an opening (350) directed opposite side. 20. Device according to Claim 18 or 19, wherein air is used as said auxiliary gas.
