Which rate-limiting outcome occurs when catalytic converters become excessively sulfurized?

💡 Explanation

When sulfur accumulates, it poisons the catalyst by blocking active sites via adsorption, limiting reactant access; therefore, the oxidation of pollutants decreases because the catalytic activity is suppressed, rather than temperature or redox kinetics rising under these sulfurized conditions.
