← ScienceWhich risk increases when a synthesis reactor lacks real-time catalyst activity monitoring?
A)Runaway reaction thermal decomposition occurs✓
B)Increased product separation energy wasted
C)Reduced downstream heat exchanger efficiency
D)Feedstock pumping costs temporarily spike
💡 Explanation
A runaway reaction and potential thermal decomposition increases because of uncontrolled reaction rates during catalyst deactivation, where diminished surface area impacts reaction kinetics. Diminished catalyst activity accelerates reactants conversion, therefore a quick rise in temperature overwhelms the passive temperature management, rather than the gradual changes.
