Which outcome occurs when a molecular sieve exceeds capacity?

💡 Explanation

Molecular sieves rely on size-exclusion for separation, therefore when adsorption capacity is reached, breakthrough occurs because the driving force for selective capture reverses rather than saturation leading to improved selectivity.
