← ScienceWhich consequence results when high sulfur inhibits catalytic converters?
A)Reduced NOx conversion efficiency✓
B)Increased hydrocarbon decomposition rate
C)Elevated catalyst surface area production
D)Enhanced carbon monoxide oxidation rate
💡 Explanation
Sulfur poisoning results in reduced NOx conversion through competitive adsorption; therefore, lower catalyst activity occurs because sulfur blocks active catalytic sites, thus reducing NOx conversion, rather than enhancing CO oxidation.
