← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a molecular sieve is overloaded?
A)Adsorbate preferential binding switch occurs
B)Adsorption site saturation induces breakthrough✓
C)Internal temperature drops due to desorption
D)Pore blockage increases reactive residence-time
💡 Explanation
When a molecular sieve is overloaded, adsorption site saturation induces breakthrough, because increased adsorbate concentration exceeds available sites. Therefore, subsequent material passes through un-adsorbed, rather than pore blockage or phase changes.
