Which risk increases when continuously purging a packed bed reactor?

A)Inhibiting surface adsorption mechanism
B)Reversing reaction order effects
C)Shifting towards endothermic pathways
D)Increasing the catalyst surface area

💡 Explanation

Continuously purging removes reactants and products, which inhibits surface adsorption mechanism affecting active catalyst sites on the bed. Because adsorbed species cannot react efficiently anymore, therefore reaction rate decreases rather than benefits to changing reaction pathways.
