AIR PURIFICATION APPARATUS AND METHODS OF AIR PURIFICATION AND TREATMENT USING IONIZATION

An air purification apparatus and methods of air purification and treatment using ionization is disclosed. In some embodiments, an ion generator apparatus comprises a modular electrode and a housing connected to the modular electrode. The modular electrode includes an elongated conduit body comprising a power receiving end and a conduit connecting end opposite the power receiving end; and a plurality of ion generating elements occupying different radial positions around a perimeter of the conduit body, the ion generating elements generating negative ions or positive ions in response to an applied alternating current. A first electrical connector on the power receiving end is connectable to a second electrical connector on the conduit connecting end of another conduit body, such that a plurality of conduit bodies can be connected together in a series. The housing is connected to a power receiving end of one of the conduit bodies of the modular electrode.
