Which mechanism minimizes SO2 catalyst poisoning in refineries?

A)Competitive surface chemisorption
B)Increased operating pressure
C)Reduced catalyst particle size
D)Decreased reaction temperature

💡 Explanation

Competitive adsorption prevents sulfur compounds from blocking active sites; because reactants preferentially bind via chemisorption, the catalytic activity remains high. Therefore, less poisoning occurs, rather than only modifying process parameters.
