The invention discloses an air purification device and a purification method, and belongs to the technical field of air purification. By the aid of the electrolytic action, the piezoelectric effect and the pyroelectric effect of tourmaline, particularly, by the aid of the piezoelectric effect and the pyroelectric effect of the tourmaline, the tourmaline can release a large number of negative ions by the piezoelectric effect and the pyroelectric effect generated under flow of constant temperature water, so that air is purified. Compared with a pure tourmaline material air purification method, the method has the advantages of high air purification efficiency, wide application scope, fine effect and the like. Besides, PM2.5 (particulate matters 2.5) can be degraded, harmful gas and undesirable odor are eliminated, bacteria are resisted, humidification is realized, human metabolism is promoted, human immunity is improved, physical and psychological health of humans is protected, and the air purification device has the advantages of safety, environmental protection, non-toxicity, no odor, no radiation, long service life, convenience in use and the like.
