← ScienceWhich risk increases when rapid-cycle pressure swing adsorption (PSA) operates beyond the adsorbent kinetic limit?
A)Reduced product gas purity✓
B)Increased compressor energy consumption
C)Enhanced adsorbent mechanical stability
D)Stable cycle at sub-optimal temperature
💡 Explanation
Reduced product purity escalates because kinetic limitations cause incomplete gas separation via diffusion rather than adsorption. Therefore, some undesired gas contaminates the product because the adsorption equilibrium is not achieved, diminishing performance.
