In this way, contaminating components, harmful components, pollen, dust and the like in the mixed gas are separated from the gas and removed together with the liquid.
In the process, at the inner wall surface 21 of the bent partition plate to which the liquid separated from the mixed gas is in close contact, the liquid that is in close contact with the inner wall surface 21 of the bent partition plate is urged by the air flow and blown to the tip portion 19. The foreign matter adhering to the inner wall surface 21 is wiped off from the inner wall surface 21 of the bent partition plate by the liquid blown away.
For this reason, the inner wall surface 21 of the bent partition plate is always maintained in a clean state, and the maintenance of the air flow purification device is simplified.

  In the present invention, an apparatus for separating gas and liquid is a bent flow path 16 which is constituted by a plurality of bent partition plates and in which a centrifugal force acts on the fluid passing therethrough. It is not bulky like an eliminator, the air flow purification device can be formed compactly, and it becomes easy to handle.

The drainage liquid collected from the passage 11 is purified and reused as a cleaning liquid.
In the process, since the bag-like container 31 is made of a water-permeable fabric, the bag-like container 31 is in close contact with the inner surface of the filter medium tank 29, and no gap is formed between the bag-shaped container 31 and the inner surface of the filter medium tank 29. In the process of moving to 28, the drainage is surely touched and purified by the filter medium 30.
