The proposed Ni–M/sepiolite (SEP) catalysts (M=Ce, Pr, and La) were developed to improve syngas production in biomass pyrolysis. A homogeneous precipitation method was used to synthesize these catalysts. These catalysts were characterized using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method. A series of experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of catalyst types and M loading on gas composition and content in gas production. Simultane...
