Which consequence results when a packed-bed reactor lacks sufficient heat dissipation?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient heat dissipation inhibits the ability to remove heat generated by an exothermic catalysis reaction, initiating a thermal runaway; because the increased temperature accelerates the catalysis reactions, accelerating heat generation, leading to destructive catalyst deactivation by sintering, coking, or collapse, therefore only deactivation occurs rather than increased side-products under proper temperature control.
