← ScienceWhich risk increases when an industrial reactor uses excessive Nickel during catalytic hydrogenation?
A)Runaway reaction thermal equilibrium loss✓
B)Reduced catalytic surface area forms
C)Product yield approaching zero dramatically
D)Catalyst poisoning due to reactant adhesion
💡 Explanation
Excessive nickel increases surface area above optimal levels, increasing the overall reaction rate above system design causing possible thermal runway because heat generation overcomes inherent cooling ability; therefore a runaway thermal equilibrium loss increases, rather than normal catalyst function that maintains parameters.
