Which outcome affects a solid catalyst's effectiveness during Fischer-Tropsch synthesis?

A)Surface poisoning reducing active sites
B)Increased reactor wall heat transfer
C)Shift in product equilibrium constant
D)Increased gas hourly space velocity

💡 Explanation

Surface poisoning reduces active sites because impurities block reactant adsorption and therefore reduce activity, rather than altering heat transfer or product distribution. The Langmuir adsorption mechanism explains decreased catalytic activity.
