Science

Which outcome decreases the yield in a catalytic reactor?

A)Catalyst bed partial pressure drop
B)Increased reactant surface area
C)High catalyst dispersion strength
D)Optimized active metallic site loading

💡 Explanation

A partial pressure drop reduces reactant concentrations, therefore reducing yield because it diminishes the effectiveness of adsorption into the active sites, hindering the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism; rather than faster kinetics through surface reactions under less pressure.
