Which mechanism minimizes the catalyst poisoning when sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen in a catalytic converter?

💡 Explanation

When sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen, maintaining minimum operating temperature ensures that sulfur species remain oxidized, preventing them from strongly binding to and poisoning the catalyst sites. Therefore maintaining the operating temperature minimizes the poisoning, rather than using sacrificial substrates or stoichiometric ratios which addresses different catalyst failure modes.
