PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air purification element including a gas-liquid contact member where electrolytic water and air are brought into contact and which is highly resistant to active oxygen such as ozone, is suitable for cost reduction and favorably brings electrolytic water such as ozone water and air into contact, and an air cleaner incorporating the air purification element.SOLUTION: The air purification element includes: a planar gas-liquid contact member of a material highly resistant to active oxygen, in which many air passing holes are formed through in a ventilation direction and an electrolytic water guiding member in a fiber sheet shape or a net shape, which is formed of a material highly resistant to the active oxygen while keeping the state in which the air easily passes through. The electrolytic water guiding member is attached to the surface on an air entrance side of the gas-liquid contact member so as to close the air passing holes.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】電解水と空気が接触する気液接触部材を備えた空気浄化エレメント、及びこの空気浄化エレメントを組み込んだ空気清浄装置において、オゾン等の活性酸素に対する耐性が高く、低コスト化に適し、オゾン水等の電解水と空気の接触が良好な気液接触部材を備えた空気浄化エレメントを提供するものである。【解決手段】通風方向に多数の空気通過孔を貫通形成した活性酸素に対する耐性が高い材質の板状の気液接触部材と、空気が容易に通過する状態を保持しつつ活性酸素に対する耐性が高い材質で形成した繊維シート状またはネット状の電解水誘導部材を備え、前記空気通過孔を塞ぐように前記気液接触部材の空気入口側の面に前記電解水誘導部材を添設した空気浄化エレメントである。【選択図】図6
