← ScienceWhich risk increases when catalytic converter internal temperature exceed maximum threshold limit?
A)Sulfur poisoning and activity decline✓
B)CO oxidation enhanced efficiency
C)Increased NOx reduction performance
D)Hydrocarbon conversion rate improved
💡 Explanation
When catalytic converter temperature exceeds limits, sulfur poisoning occurs because high heat promotes stronger sulfur-catalyst binding, blocking active sites and decreasing efficiency. Therefore sulfur poisoning risk increases, rather than improved oxidation/reduction, which require optimal temperatures below the threshold.
