Which outcome inhibits hydrogen production rate during methanol steam reforming?

A)Increased carbon monoxide surface coverage✓

B)Elevated catalyst surface area

C)Enhanced heat transfer efficiency

D)Reduced mean reactant flow velocity

💡 Explanation

Increased CO surface coverage inhibits the catalytic sites, hence reducing hydrogen generation through competitive adsorption inhibition, blocking methanol adsorption because CO poisons active sites rather than other surface processes or macroscopic transport phenomena.
