Which outcome reduces catalyst efficiency prematurely in a converter?

💡 Explanation

Reaction product accumulation causes catalyst poisoning via competitive **adsorption**, blocking reactant access, because the increased product concentration overwhelms the active catalytic sites; therefore, poisoning is faster, rather than decreased activity from thermodynamic limitations or uneven reagent distribution.
