Abstract: The portable air cleaning apparatus includes a body casing that has a base having a generally vertical sidewall and removable top wall. A fluid spray chamber has a recirculation system that supplies a fluid to at least one spray nozzle through which the fluid is sprayed into the fluid spray chamber. An air driving mechanism directs ambient air into an air inlet through the fluid spray chamber and discharges at least partially purified air out a plurality of air outlets. At least one inlet filter is positioned between the air inlet and a reservoir inside the spray chamber to create a counter-current contact between the air and the fluid to maximize the removal of particulates from the air. At least one outlet filter is positioned below the air outlets to further remove particulate matter from the air flow being discharged through the air outlets.
