Which undesired outcome results when a fixed-bed reactor hot-spot develops?

💡 Explanation

A hot-spot accelerates catalyst deactivation from fouling because localized high temperatures increase the rate constants of deactivation reactions relative to desired reactions; therefore the catalyst deactivates rapidly rather than maintaining activity with uniform temperature.
