Air purification apparatus and air purification method using the same

An air purification apparatus, comprising:

• an air purification chamber;
• and
• a supply chamber coupled to the air purification chamber,
• wherein the air purification chamber comprises:
• a purification reactor;
• a first electron accelerator that is configured to irradiate a first electron beam to the purification reactor;
• and
• a second electron accelerator that is configured to irradiate a second electron beam to the purification reactor,
• wherein the supply chamber comprises a power supply that is configured to supply power to each of the first electron accelerator and the second electron accelerator, and
• wherein the second electron accelerator is opposite to the first electron accelerator across the purification reactor,
• wherein the air purification chamber further comprises a shield plate on the supply chamber,
• wherein each of the first electron accelerator and the second electron accelerator is connected to the power supply via a power supply cable,
• wherein the power supply cable penetrates the shield plate,
• wherein the supply chamber comprises a cable shield member that envelops a portion of the power supply cable, and
• wherein the cable shield member is coupled to a bottom surface of the shield plate.

An air purification method, comprising:

• introducing air to a purification reactor of an air purification apparatus;
• irradiating at least one electron beam to the purification reactor;
• and
• discharging the air from the purification reactor,
• wherein the air purification apparatus includes:
• a first electron accelerator on one side of the purification reactor;
• and
• a second electron accelerator on another side of the purification reactor, and
• wherein the irradiating the at least one electron beam to the purification reactor comprises:
• stopping operation of the second electron accelerator and operating the first electron accelerator to irradiate a first electron beam to the purification reactor;
• and
• stopping operation of the first electron accelerator and operating the second electron accelerator to irradiate a second electron beam to the purification reactor.
