PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) removal apparatus and a VOC removal method that enable VOC to efficiently be removed while suppressing energy and cost.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to the VOC removal apparatus that absorbs and removes VOC from a VOC-containing purification target gas by bringing the purification target gas into contact with a VOC removal liquid. The VOC removal apparatus includes: a trap mechanism that is provided halfway in a gas channel and has a contact face with the purification target gas; and a removal liquid supply mechanism that supplies the VOC removal liquid to the trap mechanism so as to wet the contact face of the trap mechanism. The trap mechanism is cooled by a cooling mechanism, which causes a gas absorption temperature of the VOC removal liquid to decrease, so that the VOC is efficiently and economically absorbed.
