The invention relates to a portable adsorption type natural gas recovery device and method. The device consists of a gas collecting module, a machine pump module, an adsorption module and a control module, wherein each of the modules comprises a natural gas bottle or an LNG bottle, a gasifier, a buffer tank, a vacuum pump, a natural gas compressor, an ANG bottle, a control cabinet, a pressure, temperature and oxygen detecting probe and various valves; main body equipment of the device is mounted on a gasifier prying block, a buffer tank prying block, a vacuum pump prying block and a compressor prying block; the prying blocks are in bolt connection, so that in-site assembled prying can be convenient to perform, and a vehicle-mounted natural gas recovery device can be made, so that the movement and the operation are convenient. The ANG bottles can be demounted, and replaced, and system operation is not influenced. The device is provided with a vacuum system for vacuumizing the system. According to the portable adsorption type natural gas recovery device and the method disclosed by the invention, natural gas exhausted from the natural gas bottles or the LNG bottles is collected to the gasifier and the buffer tank; a compressor is used for compressing the natural gas through medium pressure into the ANG bottles to be stored, so that recovery is realized. When being required by outside, gas in the bottles can realize desorption for use of energy resources.
