Disclosed is a method for removing carbon dioxide from a gas stream, comprising placing the gas stream in contact with a resin, wetting the resin with water, collecting water vapor and carbon dioxide from the resin, and separating the carbon dioxide from the water vapor. The resin may be placed in a chamber or a plurality of chambers connected in series wherein the first chamber contains resin that was first contacted by the gas, and each successive chamber contains resin which has been wetted and carbon dioxide collected from for a greater period of time than the previous chamber, and so on, until the last chamber. Secondary sorbents may be employed to further separate the carbon dioxide from the water vapor.

1. A method for removing carbon dioxide from a gas, comprising bringing said gas in contact with a CO2 capture material in a chamber, evacuating gas from the chamber, wetting said CO2 capture material, collecting water vapor and carbon dioxide from said CO2 capture material, and separating said carbon dioxide from said water vapor; wherein the CO2 capture material is wetted by immersion in water. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the water also contains carbonic anhydrase. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the carbon dioxide is separated from the water vapor by a decrease in the temperature. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the carbon dioxide is separated from the water vapor by an increase of pressure on the water vapor and carbon dioxide in the chamber. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein a secondary sorbent is used to separate the carbon dioxide from the water vapor. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the secondary sorbent is a weak liquid amine. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the carbon dioxide is released from the secondary sorbent upon an increase in temperature. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said CO2 capture material is an ion exchange resin. 9. A method for removing carbon dioxide from a gas, comprising: bringing said gas in contact with a CO2 capture material contained in a plurality of chambers, wherein said plurality of chambers are connected in series;wetting said CO2 capture material by immersion in water, wherein the water enters a first chamber and exits through a last chamber; collecting water vapor and carbon dioxide from said CO2 capture material; andseparating said carbon dioxide from said water vapor. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said plurality of chambers are connected via a plurality of valves that allow any of said plurality of chambers to serve as said first chamber or said last chamber. 11. The method as of claim 9, wherein said first chamber contains CO2 capture material that was most recently saturated or partially saturated with carbon dioxide from said gas, and each successive chamber contains CO2 capture material which has been wetted and carbon dioxide collected from for a greater period of time than the previous chamber, and so on, to said last chamber. 12. A method for removing carbon dioxide from a gas, comprising introducing said gas into a chamber containing a CO2 capture material and activated carbon, wetting the CO2 capture material and activated carbon, evacuating gas from the chamber, and collecting carbon dioxide from the activated carbon; wherein said wetting is by immersion in water. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein a zeolite material is used in place of or in addition to the activated carbon. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein said CO2 capture material is an ion exchange resin. 15. A method for removing carbon dioxide from a gas, comprising streaming said gas in contact with a CO2 capture material in a first chamber, evacuating said gas from said first chamber, wetting said CO2 capture material by immersion in water, collecting water vapor and carbon dioxide from said CO2 capture material, and separating said carbon dioxide from said water vapor. 16. The method as recited in claim 15, further comprising placing the CO2 capture material in said first chamber prior to the step of evacuating said gas from said first chamber. 17. The method as recited in claim 16, wherein a plurality of chambers are connected in series and wherein water enters a first chamber and exits through a last chamber, the carbon dioxide and water vapor being collected from said last chamber. 18. The method as recited in claim 17, wherein said plurality of chambers are connected by a plurality of valves that allow any of said plurality of chambers to serve as said first chamber or said last chamber. 19. The method as recited in claim 17, wherein said first chamber contains CO2 capture material that was most recently saturated with carbon dioxide from said gas stream, and each successive chamber contains CO2 capture material which has been wetted and carbon dioxide collected from for a greater period of time than the previous chamber, and so on until said last chamber. 20. The method as recited in claim 15, wherein upon evacuating said gas stream, said first chamber is at a near vacuum pressure. 21. The method as recited in claim 15, wherein said carbon dioxide is separated from said water vapor increasing the pressure to condense the water vapor. 22. The method as recited in claim 15, wherein said carbon dioxide is separated from said water vapor using a weak base amine. 23. The method of claim 15, wherein said CO2 capture material is an ion exchange resin. 24. A method for the capture of CO2 from air, said method comprising the steps of exposing an anion exchange material to the flow of air; releasing CO2 captured by said anion exchange material by a swing in humidity; and, concentrating said released CO2; wherein said humidity swing comprises immersion in water. 25. The method of claim 24, further comprising separating said released CO2 from water vapor using a decrease in temperature. 26. The method of claim 24, further comprising separating said released CO2 from water vapor using a pressure increase. 27. A method for the capture of CO2 from air, said method comprising the steps of: (a) exposing an anion exchange material to a flow of air;(b) releasing CO2 captured by said anion exchange material by wetting said anion exchange material, wherein said wetting is by immersion in water;(c) removing water from resulting vapor by exposing said vapor to a reduced temperature or an increased pressure; and(d) trapping said removed water as a byproduct. 28. The method of claim 27, wherein said carbonic anhydrase is added to water used in wetting said anion exchange material. 29. The method of claim 27, wherein release of a bulk of captured CO2 is relatively low. 30.
