If the catalyst and reaction conditions are indicative of low effectiveness, selective poisoning may be observed, where poisoning of only a small fraction of the catalyst's surface gives a disproportionately large drop in activity. [4] If η is the effectiveness factor of the poisoned surface and h p is the Thiele modulus for the poisoned case:

The greatest Arctic declines are in the winter and spring, reaching up to 30 percent when the stratosphere is coldest. [26] Reactions that take place on polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) play an important role in enhancing ozone depletion. [27] PSCs form more readily in the extreme cold of the Arctic and Antarctic stratosphere.
The monolith is a substrate that supports a catalyst. After the monolith is complete, a washcoat is applied that deposits oxides and catalyst(s) (most commonly platinum, palladium, and/or rhodium) on the walls of the holes. Alternative structures include corrugated metal and a packed bed of coated pellets or other shapes.
And as of Jan. 17, Solana just got a massive new catalyst that could make its lead even more decisive. Start Your Mornings Smarter! Wake up with Breakfast news in your inbox every market day.

[1]Russia's undiscovered petroleum is estimated between 67 billion tons of oil equivalent (BTOE) according to the United States Geological Survey and 142 BTOE according to the Russian Academy of Sciences (in 2011, the world consumed 13 BTOE of energy, 31% from ...
A global catastrophic risk or a doomsday scenario is a hypothetical event that could damage human well-being on a global scale, [2] even endangering or destroying modern civilization. [3] An event that could cause human extinction or permanently and drastically curtail humanity's existence or potential is known as an " existential risk ".
