Which outcome occurs when a water-gas shift reactor experiences catalyst poisoning?

💡 Explanation

Decreased hydrogen production happens because catalyst poisoning blocks active sites, hindering *surface adsorption* of reactants required for the water-gas shift reaction to occur and form hydrogen; therefore it lowers yields, rather than improving gas adsorption, methane conversion or surface exposure under optimal function.
