METHOD FOR SEPARATING GASEOUS CARBON DIOXIDE FROM A GAS MIXTURE

Method for the preparation of a sorbent material and for use of such a material for separating gaseous carbon dioxide from a gas mixture, preferably for direct air capture, using a temperature, vacuum, or temperature/vacuum swing process, comprising primary amine moieties immobilized on a solid support, wherein the primary amine moieties, in the α-carbon position, are substituted by one hydrogen and one non-hydrogen substituent, wherein the sorbent material is in the form of a monolith, a layer, fibres, or particles, wherein the non-hydrogen substituent is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, arylalkyl, and wherein the solid support of the sorbent material is a porous material. Starting from a precursor of said sorbent material comprising one or multiple keto-groups, said one or multiple keto groups are converted into said primary amine moieties through a reductive amination.
