Abstract
Photo-oxidation reactions in a mixture of C2H6/O-2/CO2 are investigated wit h KrF excimer laser irradiation. The main initial products are acetaldehyde and ethanol. The reaction is induced by one-photon absorption of O-2 which yields to O-2(A' (3)Delta(u)). It is considered that C2H6 reacts principal ly with O-2(A') to generate oxidation products. The solvent density effects on the light absorption process of O-2 and its subsequent quenching proces ses are discussed.
