← ScienceWhich effect results when zeolite catalysts degrade in reactors?
A)Reduced reaction conversion rate✓
B)Increased product selectivity
C)Enhanced catalyst surface area
D)Decreased reactor energy consumption
💡 Explanation
Reduced reaction conversion rate occurs through catalyst deactivation involving pore blocking because the active sites become inaccessible to reactants as the catalyst degrades. Therefore, conversion drops, rather than selectivity increasing or energy consumption decreasing since fewer target molecules react.
