Which outcome occurs when a molecular sieve's pores become blocked by adsorbed species during gas separation?

💡 Explanation

Reduced separation efficiency occurs because pore blockage hinders the sieving effect; the mechanism is steric hindrance. Therefore, separation weakens, rather than enhanced temperature, higher pressure drops, or permanent structural deformations without specific chemical degradation.
