Which risk increases when an industrial reactor uses excessive Nickel during catalytic hydrogenation?

A)Runaway reaction thermal equilibrium loss
B)Reduced catalytic surface area forms
C)Product yield approaching zero dramatically
D)Catalyst poisoning due to reactant adhesion

💡 Explanation

Excessive nickel increases surface area above optimal levels, increasing the overall reaction rate above system design causing possible thermal runway because heat generation overcomes inherent cooling ability; therefore a runaway thermal equilibrium loss increases, rather than normal catalyst function that maintains parameters.
