Which risk increases when reactants continuously flow through a catalytic reactor?

A)Catalyst poisoning occurs due to fouling
B)Space-time yield reaches equilibrium faster
C)Recirculation flow reduces conversion rate
D)Residence time matches reaction half-life

💡 Explanation

Catalyst poisoning is more likely because continuous flow provides a steady supply of impurities as reactants bind active sites, blocking them via adsorption, therefore catalytic activity decreases permanently rather than reaching desirable yield conversions initially.
