← ScienceWhich outcome results when iron is insufficiently available in catalytic converters?
A)NOx emissions dramatically increase✓
B)CO oxidation rate accelerates
C)Platinum catalyst crystallite growth decreases
D)Precious metal dispersion significantly increases
💡 Explanation
Insufficient iron reduces redox cycling, thus lowering the removal of nitrogen oxides, because redox cycles act as promoters to facilitate NOx reduction within the catalyst; therefore emissions increase, rather than lower emissions from continued catalytic action.
