Modelling Disappearance of Ethylene from Controlled Storage Atmospheres Exposed to Ultraviolet Radiation

Ethylene Removal and Fresh Product Storage: A Challenge at the Frontiers of Chemistry. Toward an Approach by Photocatalytic Oxidation

“…The ultraviolet radiation appears to be indirectly responsible for the degradation of ethylene and not the ozone, which is also produced as a byproduct. A model describing the UV-initiated photochemical and chemical processes leading to the destruction of ethylene was developed by Jozwiak et al 93 and can be described by the following series of reactions: (15…”
