Which outcome results when iron is insufficiently available in catalytic converters?

A)NOx emissions dramatically increase
B)CO oxidation rate accelerates
C)Platinum catalyst crystallite growth decreases
D)Precious metal dispersion significantly increases

💡 Explanation

Insufficient iron reduces redox cycling, thus lowering the removal of nitrogen oxides, because redox cycles act as promoters to facilitate NOx reduction within the catalyst; therefore emissions increase, rather than lower emissions from continued catalytic action.
