Which risk increases when using a powdered catalyst in an industrial slurry reactor without inert gas blanketing?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled exothermic reactions can occur because powdered catalysts have dramatically higher surface areas. This accelerates the Oxidation rate in the slurry by Auto-oxidation, therefore causing a thermal runaway reaction, rather than decreased area/inhibited/reduced product, which require drastically different conditions.
