Abstract
A purification apparatus includes a holding unit including a bottom plate for supporting a bottom portion of a container to be mounted, and a magnetic unit arranged on the bottom plate or below the bottom plate so as to face the bottom portion of the container. The magnetic unit fixes magnetic particles of an amorphous metal to an inner bottom portion or an inner wall of the container so as to separate a liquid in the container and the magnetic particles contained in the liquid from each other and/or to collect the liquid while leaving the magnetic particles in the container.
