As a result, it is possible to further increase the purification efficiency of the polluted air by improving the contact ratio between the polluted air and the electrolyzed water.

The fine bubbles discharged inside the electrolytic water (W) contained in the air purification tank 20 are purified by the electrolyzed water (W) while rising, so that contaminants of the contaminated air float on the surface of the electrolyzed water (W), and the purified air rises. By the operation of the blowing fan 26a is sucked into the air discharge pipe 26 provided on the upper side of the air purification tank 20 to be blown to the place to use the purified air. In this case, a heater (H) or a cooler or the like may be used to heat or cool the air on the air discharge pipe 26 according to the purpose or environment for using the purified air.

Then, the electrolyzed water (W) floating contaminants on the water surface is discharged through the outlet 24 of the air purification tank 20, filtered by the filter 52 of the filter unit 50 is contaminants and electrolytic water (W) Are separated. Contaminants separated from the electrolyzed water (W) and buried in the filter are contained in the pollutant collection tank (58) by the contaminant removing unit (54), and the electrolyzed water (W) passing through the filter (52) is contained in the auxiliary tank (56). After that, it is supplied to the air purification tank 20 again by the recycling pump 56a to continue to purify the contaminated air.

As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features thereof.
