An amine-based anion exchange resin was utilized to capture CO 2 from ambient air. The sorbent is able to absorb CO 2 when it is dry and release CO 2 when exposed to liquid water or water vapor. The absorption isotherm test shows that the sorbent behaves efficiently even at very low CO 2 concentration. Its capacity in carbonate form is 0.86 mol of CO2 per kilogram under 25 °C and 40 Pa. Langmuir model describes well the absorption isotherm at high saturation. The kinetics of CO 2 desorption

... ersed in a flat sheet of polypropylene has been studied by experiments and models. We accounted for boundary layer transport limitations and made boundary layers thin enough to avoid such changes. The kinetic parameters of desorption, desorption coefficient and activation energy, are determined.
