Which 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.
