Which risk increases when a packed-bed catalytic reactor lacks sufficient active sites during exothermic reaction?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient active sites raise reactant concentration locally, causing increased heat generation; the **Arrhenius equation** dictates temperature rise accelerates reaction rate because of increased effective collisions; Therefore, a runaway thermal process results, rather than merely attrition or selectivity changes which would require different conditions.
