← ScienceWhich risk increases to an industrial catalytic converter when exposed to high precursor concentrations?
A)Catalyst bed temperature runaway✓
B)Loss of mechanical support strength
C)Increased diffusion limitations effect
D)Reduced active metal surface area
💡 Explanation
A catalyst bed temperature runaway occurs because the exothermic catalytic reaction accelerates rapidly as temperatures rises, creating a positive feedback loop; therefore temperature increases, rather than surface degradation, increase more due to runaway, due to temperature limitations.
