Which consequence results when a catalyst deactivates in a packed bed reactor?

💡 Explanation

A deactivated catalyst reduces available active sites, because this decreases reaction rate through lowered effective catalyst concentration, and therefore shifts equilibrium unfavorably, rather than increasing product yield or lowering activation energy.
