← ScienceWhich outcome reduces catalytic reformer efficiency due to hydrogen?
A)Increased coke formation on catalyst✓
B)Decreased catalyst surface-area reduction
C)Enhanced metal nanoparticle agglomeration
D)Improved heat-transfer within catalyst
💡 Explanation
Increased hydrogen partial pressure increases coke formation via hydrogenation reactions on acid sites causing deactivation. This leads to decreased reformer efficiency because catalyst pores become blocked therefore reducing the reactant flow rather than facilitating desired reactions.
