The invention discloses an apparatus and method for removing industrial dust by using a high-speed rotation suction process. The apparatus comprises an induced draught fan, a dust purification tank, a primary dust discharging pipe, a water inlet pipe, a secondary dust discharging pipe, a clean gas discharging pipe and an automatic control system, wherein the automatic control system is located on the upper surface of the dust purification tank; the induced draught fan is arranged on the bottom surface of the dust purification tank and is connected with the automatic control system under control of leads; the primary dust discharging pipe is located on the bottom surface of the dust purification tank; the sidewall of the dust purification tank is separately connected with the water inlet pipe, the secondary dust discharging pipe and the clean gas discharging pipe; and the water inlet pipe and the clean gas discharging pipe are located at a same side while the secondary dust discharging pipe is located at the other side. The apparatus and method for removing industrial dust by using the high-speed rotation suction process are novel and reasonable in structure, convenient and fast to operate, high in dust removal efficiency and applicable to purification of different kinds of dust.
