PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently decompose and remove ozone and NOx, which are discharge products generated by corona discharge, before flowing out of a casing, reduce required energy, and reduce cost. Prevents deterioration over time, eliminates the accumulation of ozone and NOx in the discharge products, and does not adversely affect the environment or the discharge object. Provided is a corona discharge device that forms a high-quality image by preventing occurrence of an abnormal image such as image deletion, and an image forming apparatus having the same. SOLUTION: An opening 1 provided on a side facing the object to be discharged, a discharge wire 2 stretched so as to face the object to be discharged through the opening 1 and applied with a voltage to discharge, and It comprises a casing 3 surrounding the discharge wire 2 and a heating means 4 for heating the inside of the casing 3. |
