This study developed a facility to reduce ethylene (C2H4) in controlled ecological life support systems. The experimental setup effectively removed C2H4, ensuring a safe environment for plant growth.

Area of Science:

  • Bioregenerative life support systems
  • Plant physiology
  • Environmental control technology

Context:

  • Ethylene (C2H4) is a plant hormone that can negatively impact plant growth in closed environments.
  • Controlled Ecological Life Support Systems (CELSS) are crucial for long-duration space missions and require effective atmospheric management.
  • Managing gaseous byproducts like ethylene is essential for sustaining plant cultivation in CELSS.

Purpose:

  • To design and construct an experimental facility for reducing ethylene (C2H4) concentrations.
  • To evaluate the performance and efficiency of the developed C2H4 reduction system.
  • To ensure the system's suitability for integration into plant growth modules within a CELSS.

Summary:

  • An experimental facility was developed and tested for its capacity to decompose ethylene (C2H4).

  • The facility successfully reduced C2H4 from 0.034 mg/kg to below 0.010 mg/kg under specified conditions (20% RH, 1.0-3.0 L/min flow, 48 W lamp power).
  • Outlet gas analysis confirmed no harmful byproducts for plants, with only CO2 and H2O detected.

    • Impact:

    • The developed facility demonstrates effective C2H4 removal, crucial for plant cultivation in CELSS.
    • The system's reliable performance and reasonable technical parameters support its application in life support systems.
    • This technology contributes to advancing sustainable plant growth in controlled environments for space exploration and terrestrial applications.
