← ScienceWhich mechanism diminishes catalyst effectiveness over time used in ammonia production?
A)Catalyst bed surface area reduction✓
B)Excess reagent poisoning accelerates kinetics
C)Rapid temperature fluctuation induced cracking
D)High pressure shifts reaction equilibrium
💡 Explanation
Sintering reduces catalyst activity by decreasing active surface area, because high operating temperatures cause smaller catalyst particles to coalesce forming larger ones, therefore area decreases, rather than by equilibrium shifts, poisoning or cracking, though each contributes under different constraints.
