[0026] The elements illustrated in the figures are numbered as follows: [0027] 1. Air purifier [0028] 2. Body [0029] 3. CO.sub.2 adsorption unit [0030] 4. Air duct [0031] 5. Diffuser [0032] 6. Membrane [0033] 7. Cylindrical body [0034] 8. Hole [0035] 9. Clamp [0036] 10. Cover [0037] 11. Opening [0038] I: Air inlet [0039] O: Clean air outlet

[0040] The air purifier (1) comprises a body (2) having an air inlet (I) through which the air in the environment is sucked and a clean air outlet (0) through which the cleaned air is released to the environment; a CO.sub.2 adsorption unit (3) which is provided on the body (2), which can be filled with basic liquid solution and which provides the adsorption of the carbon dioxide in the air; and an air duct (4) which provides the delivery of the air taken from the body (2) to the CO.sub.2 adsorption unit (3).

[0041] The air purifier (1) of the present invention comprises a diffuser (5) having a cylindrical body (7) comprising at least one opening (11) thereon which allows the passage of the air into the CO.sub.2 adsorption unit (3) such that the air is passed therethrough by means of the air duct so as to be mixed with the basic liquid solution in the CO.sub.2 adsorption unit (3) in a manner to have bubbles.

[0042] In the air purifier (1) of the present invention, the air taken into the CO.sub.2 adsorption unit (3) by means of the air duct (4) is passed through a diffuser (5) so as to be mixed with the basic liquid solution in the CO.sub.2 adsorption unit (3) in a manner to form bubbles. The diffuser (5) comprises the cylindrical body (7) and at least one opening (11) which is provided on the cylindrical body (7) and which allows the passage of the air. The air passing through the opening (11) mixes with the basic liquid solution so as to form bubbles, ensuring that a higher amount of carbon dioxide is converted to carbonate compound as a result of the reaction. By means of the cylindrical body (7), the basic liquid solution and the air in the CO.sub.2 adsorption unit are enabled to get in contact equally at every region thereof.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present invention, the air purifier (1) comprises the diffuser (5) having a membrane (6) which can be connected to the cylindrical body (7) so as to completely enclose the cylindrical body (7) through which the air passed and which comprises a plurality of holes (8) allowing the air passing through the opening (11) on the cylindrical body (7) to be pass into the CO.sub.2 adsorption unit (3). In this embodiment, the air exiting the cylindrical body (7) through the opening (11) passes between the cylindrical body (7) and the membrane (6) having a high number of holes (8) so as to exit through the holes (8) at high pressure, thus forming much smaller air bubbles before being pumped into the CO.sub.2 adsorption unit (3).

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, the air purifier (1) comprises the diffuser (5) having a membrane (6) wherein the diameter of the hole (8) is between 0.5 to 1.5 mm and each hole (8) has the same diameter. Thus, the bubbles in the CO.sub.2 adsorption unit (3) have the desired dimensions for improved carbonation reaction efficiency.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, the air purifier (1) comprises two clamps (9) which join the membrane (6) and the cylindrical body (7) at two end portions of the cylindrical body (7). Thus, the cylindrical body (7) and the membrane (6) are connected to each other such that a gap allowing the flow of air is left therebetween, and when the gap between the cylindrical body (7) and the membrane (6) connected to each other at two ends is filled with air, the air is enabled to exit through the holes (8) at a higher pressure. Thus, the number of air bubbles formed in the basic liquid solution is increased.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the air purifier (1) comprises the cylindrical body (7) having an opening with a diameter larger than that of the holes (8) on the membrane (6).

[0047] In an embodiment of the present invention, the air purifier (1) comprises the diffuser (5) having a cover (10) at the part of the cylindrical body (7) which is not connected to the air duct (4). Thus, the air delivered to the diffuser (5) through the air duct (4) is prevented from leaving the CO.sub.2 adsorption unit (3) directly from the other end of the cylindrical body (7).

[0048] By means of the present invention, an air purifier (1) is realized, wherein the efficiency of the reaction between the carbon dioxide and the basic liquid solution is improved so as to adsorb a higher amount of carbon dioxide from the air in the environment.
