Methane Purification Using PVC Membrane: Preparation, Characterization and Performance Study

Methane (CH4) gas stands as one of the most prevalent gaseous in the air. Global methane emissions from landfill are estimated to be between 30 and 70 million tonnes each year. Methane originating from landfill is vastly found in developed and populated countries, where the levels of waste tend to b...
