← ScienceWhich issue arises following thermal runaway in zeolite desiccant?
A)Vapor pressure increases above operational design
B)Decreased water diffusion due to pore collapse✓
C)Increased endothermic cooling during adsorption
D)Enhanced selectivity against smaller molecules
💡 Explanation
Pore collapse arises because thermal runaway leads to exceeded temperatures, triggering the mechanical stresses responsible for structural disintegration; therefore collapsing pores prevent further adsorption, rather than increased cooling, which doesn't occur due to structural demise.
