An air purifier includes an air inlet portion through which polluted air flows in, a plasma reaction portion connected to and in fluid communication with the air inlet portion and including a discharge region generating discharge plasma, a gas-liquid mixing portion connected to and in fluid communication with the plasma reaction portion, and including a gas-liquid mixing portion housing, a droplet spraying device arranged in the gas-liquid mixing portion housing and including at least one spray nozzle spraying fine droplets, and a fluid mixing device which mixes the fine droplets with first purified air transferred from the plasma reaction portion, and a gas-liquid contact portion connected to and in fluid communication with the gas-liquid mixing portion, defining micro-channels through which a gas-liquid mixture fluid transferred from the gas-liquid mixing portion passes, and including an impactor which captures droplets from the gas-liquid mixture fluid.

Air purifier and air purifying method

A particulate matter collecting apparatus includes a duct, a water sprayer, a micro-channel forming unit, and an impactor. A gas-liquid mixed fluid is formed by spraying water to air flowing along the inside of the duct using the water sprayer. The gas-liquid mixed fluid collides with a collision plate of the impactor after passing through a plurality of micro-channels provided in the micro-channel forming unit. Particulate matter in air is collected by droplets or a liquid film formed on the plurality of micro-channels and the collision plate. Water flowing down from the plurality of micro-channels is discharged through a first water outlet.
