2. Description of the Related Art Ethylene gas is generated as the respiration of fruits and vegetables progresses, and the action of ethylene gas accelerates the maturity and aging of fruits and vegetables, resulting in poor shelf life. Therefore, in order to sufficiently maintain the freshness of the fruits and vegetables after harvest during the transfer period or the storage period, it is preferable to efficiently remove ethylene gas generated from these. As a method of maintaining freshness of fruits and vegetables during storage, a method of removing ethylene gas with an adsorbent such as activated carbon or zeolite and a method of decomposing and removing with an oxidation catalyst are widely used. However, since fruits and vegetables are generally stored in a state of high humidity and high concentration of carbon dioxide, it is difficult to remove ethylene gas by adsorption by the method using an adsorbent due to the effect of coexisting water and carbon dioxide. Further, since adsorbed ethylene may be desorbed, it cannot be expected to maintain sufficient ethylene removal efficiency by the adsorption method. There is also the disadvantage that the adsorbent must be replaced frequently in order to maintain the ethylene removal performance. As a catalyst for decomposing and removing ethylene gas, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-312541
The publication discloses a preservative in which potassium permanganate is supported on activated alumina. However, potassium permanganate is a poisonous substance even though it is excellent in removing ethylene, but its handling is problematic. Also, JP-A-63-633
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 39 discloses a freshness-retaining agent composed of activated carbon having palladium and / or palladium chloride and sulfuric acid attached thereto, but it is necessary to heat the freshness-retaining agent with a heating means such as a heater. There is a possibility that it may adversely affect the freshness of fruits and vegetables. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1-252244 discloses a freshness maintaining method and apparatus for maintaining the freshness of agricultural products by irradiating a powdery photocatalyst containing titanium oxide with light to excite it to decompose ethylene. However, further improvement in ethylene removal performance is expected. And besides these, the applicant is unaware of the technology close to the present invention in the ethylene decomposition catalyst. On the other hand, JP-A-1
The inventions of JP-A-139139, JP-A-2-107339, JP-A-1-293876, JP-A-1-139139, JP-A-2-280818, and JP-A-3-94814 are all related to deodorization. However, it is not related to ethylene removal and has nothing to do with the present invention, but it will be briefly listed. JP-A-1-139139
In the publication, photocatalyst fine particles are impregnated and supported on a porous body made of a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric made of inorganic fibers, particularly glass fibers, to form a coating film on the surface of the porous body, and the treated air passes through the porous wall of the porous body. An air deodorizing and sterilizing device configured to perform the above is disclosed. Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-107339 discloses a group consisting of an aliphatic compound, a sulfur compound and a nitrogen compound by a photocatalyst in which titanium oxide is supported as a photocatalytically active component on a three-dimensional network structure through which a reaction gas and light can flow. There is disclosed an air deodorizing device suitable for removing a malodor in an air circulation system that removes a malodorous gas containing at least one of them. JP-A-1-293876 and JP-A-1-139139 disclose deodorizing / sterilizing devices in which a cylindrical body whose inner surface is coated with a photocatalyst is coaxially installed so as to surround a tubular ultraviolet light source. There is. Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-280818, a wavelength of 250 n
A method for deodorizing a semiconductor catalyst by irradiating the semiconductor catalyst with ultraviolet rays having an ultraviolet intensity of 2.0 mW / cm 2 or more in m to decompose a malodorous component in the atmosphere is disclosed. It is taught that a support is provided around the light source and used by being applied or impregnated with the support. Further, in the embodiment, the width is 30.3 mm and the length is 120 m.
400-700 ° C. after impregnating alumina-silica ceramic paper having a thickness of 0.5 mm and a thickness of 0.5 mm with titania sol.
Discloses a photocatalyst prepared by supporting anatase type titanium dioxide at about 300 g / m 2 . JP-A-3-948
Japanese Patent Publication No. 14 discloses a deodorizing method using a corrugated plate-shaped photocatalyst carrying a semiconductor. Now, in order to remove ethylene gas more efficiently, the present inventor supports titanium oxide fine particles having a specific particle diameter on a white porous carrier through which a reaction gas and light can flow and calcinates at a specific temperature. A white ethylene decomposition catalyst having hydrophobicity and capable of dramatically and efficiently removing ethylene gas was found, and Japanese Patent Application No. 4-354314 was filed. However, since the carrier has a honeycomb structure or a three-dimensional network structure, it is difficult to carry the carrier, and the cost of the carrier itself is high.

One component of the ethylene decomposition catalyst of the present invention is a sheet-like carrier having a high reflectance surface, and one of them is a white paper-like material. The other one is a sheet-like material having a mirror surface forming a high reflectance surface such as a mirror or an aluminum sheet. The constituents of the paper-like material are, for example, white inorganic materials such as cordierite, alumina, silica-alumina, titania silica, zirconia, zeolite and sepiolite, or organic materials composed of natural, semi-synthetic or synthetic polymers. Examples of the sheet-like material include a metal sheet having a mirror surface, a synthetic resin sheet, a so-called metal vapor deposition sheet obtained by vapor-depositing a metal on a film, and the like. These metal sheets are excellent in water resistance, and can have arbitrary mechanical strength by selecting the thickness of the sheet, and can be further easily processed. When a metal foil is used, a reinforcing material such as paper or synthetic resin sheet may be laminated on the back surface for use. Any sheet-shaped carrier can be subjected to water resistance treatment before or after supporting the catalyst.

The body and (c) means for introducing an ethylene-containing gas into the cylindrical body. The sheet-shaped ethylene decomposition catalyst tubular body may have a cylindrical shape, a polygonal columnar shape, or the like. In addition, the surface area can be increased by forming a corrugated sheet and then using it in a tubular shape. Although the utilization efficiency of light decreases, it does not limit the use of the sheet-shaped ethylene decomposition catalyst that is not processed into a tubular shape as it is. In order to improve the gas diffusion efficiency of the ethylene-containing gas and to secure the amount of the catalyst (light-receiving area) necessary for ethylene decomposition, the distance between the light source and the catalyst surface is at least 10 mm or more, preferably 20 mm or more. That is, when a rod-shaped lamp having a diameter of 15 mm is used, the diameter of the tubular body is 35 mm or more, preferably 55 m.
