The invention relates to regenerative, solid sorbent for adsorbing carbon dioxide from a gas mixture, with the sorbent including a modified polyamine and a nano-structured solid support. The modified polyamine is the reaction product of an amine and an aldehyde. The sorbent provides structural integrity, as well as high selectivity and increased capacity for efficiently capturing carbon dioxide from gas mixtures, including the air. The sorbent is regenerative, and can be used through multiple operations of absorption-desorption cycles.

1. A solid sorbent for adsorbing carbon dioxide from a gas mixture, comprising a modified polyamine that is supported upon and within a nano-structured solid support, wherein the modified polyamine is the reaction product of an amine and an aldehyde and is present in an amount of at least 25% by weight of the sorbent. 2. The sorbent according to claim 1, wherein the nano-structured support is a silica, silica-alumina, calcium silicate, carbon nanotube, carbon or a mixture thereof and has a primary particle size less than about 100 nm and preferably between 3 and 50, 3 and 30 or 3 and 15 nm. 3. The sorbent according to claim 1, wherein the amine is a primary, secondary or tertiary alkyl- or alkanolamine, an aromatic amine, a mixed amine, or a combination thereof, and wherein the aldehyde is a simple aldehyde, dialdehyde, trialdehyde, a polymeric aldehyde compound or a mixture thereof. 4. The sorbent according to claim 1, wherein the amine is tetraethylenepentamine, pentaethylenehexamine, triethylenetetramine, di ethylenetriamine, ethylenediamine, hexaethyleneheptamine, a polyethylenimine, or a combination thereof, and wherein the aldehyde is formaldehyde, glyoxal (ethanedial), glutaraldehyde (pentane-1,5-dial), succindialdehyde (butanedial), o-phthalaldehyde, m-phthalaldehyde, p-phthalaldehyde or a mixture thereof. 5. The sorbent according to claim 1, in which the modified polyamine is present in an amount of 25% to 75% or 40% to 60% of the sorbent or in an approximately equal amount by weight as the support. 6. The sorbent according to claim 1, which further comprises a polyol in an amount up to about 25% by weight of the sorbent, wherein the polyol is selected from the group consisting of glycerol, oligomers of ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polyethylene oxides, and ethers, modifications and mixtures thereof. 7. The sorbent according to claim 1, wherein the nano-structured support is nanosilica, the modified amine is the reaction product of an ethyleneamine of the formula H2N(NH(CH2)n)pNH2 where n is 1 to 4 and p is 2 to 10000, with an aldehyde of formaldehyde, glyoxal (ethanedial), glutaraldehyde (pentane-1,5-dial), succindialdehyde (butanedial), o-phthalaldehyde, m-phthalaldehyde, p-phthalaldehyde or a mixture thereof, and is present in an amount of about 25% to 75% by weight of the sorbent, and the sorbent further comprises polyethylene glycol in an amount up to 25% by weight of the sorbent. 8. A method for preparing the sorbent of claim 1, which comprises combining the amine, aldehyde and support in a solvent with mixing and heating for a sufficient time to allow the amine and aldehyde to combine with their reaction product being provided upon and within the support, followed by removal of the water to obtain the sorbent as a solid. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the nano-structured support is dispersed in the solvent to form a suspension; the amine is dissolved in the solvent to form an amine solution; the aldehyde is dissolved in a solvent to form an aldehyde solution; and the suspension and the amine and aldehyde solutions are combined in a mixture with agitation or stirring for a period of time to form a liquid reaction product of the amine and aldehyde; and the water is then removed by heating the liquid reaction product, if necessary under vacuum conditions. 10. The method of claim 8, which further comprises dissolving the amine in water to form an amine solution, adding an aqueous solution of the aldehyde to the amine solution to form a mixture; mixing the mixture at a temperature of 15 to 30° C. for 1 to 50 hours; then heating the mixture to at least 100° C. for 30 seconds to 60 minutes to remove part or all of the water, with any remaining water removed by heating under vacuum, to obtain the modified amine as a viscous liquid, wherein the sorbent is formed by adding the viscous liquid to the support and solvent with stirring to disperse the modified polyamine onto and within the support. 11. The method according to claim 8 which further comprises adding a polyol before the removing water to obtain the sorbent, wherein the polyol is added to the support to form a supported polyol; the supported polyol is suspended in the solvent; and the supported polyol and solvent are combined with the modified amine prior to removing the solvent to form the sorbent. 12. A method for continuously capturing and separating carbon dioxide from a gas mixture with a sorbent, which comprises exposing the sorbent according to claim 1 to the gas mixture to effect absorption of carbon dioxide by the sorbent and treating the sorbent that contains absorbed or entrapped carbon dioxide to release it as purified carbon dioxide. 13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the sorbent is provided in a fixed, moving, or fluidized bed and the gas and bed are in contact for a sufficient time to trap the carbon dioxide in the sorbent, wherein, to release a substantial amount or all of the adsorbed carbon dioxide, the sorbent is treated with sufficient heat, reduced pressure, vacuum, gas purge, or a combination thereof. 14. The method according to claim 12, which further comprises reacting the released carbon dioxide to form useful products, wherein carbon dioxide is used to produce methanol by (a) electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide in water or (b) reducing carbon dioxide under conditions sufficient to produce methyl formate as an intermediate compound and catalytically hydrogenating the intermediate compound with hydrogen under conditions sufficient to form methanol, orby reducing the carbon dioxide under conditions sufficient to carbon monoxide, reacting the carbon monoxide with methanol under conditions sufficient to obtain methyl formate, and catalytically hydrogenating the methyl formate under conditions sufficient to produce methanol. 15. The method according to claim 14, which further comprises dehydrating the methanol under conditions sufficient to produce dimethyl ether and optionally: heating the dimethyl ether in the presence of an acidic-basic or zeolitic catalyst under conditions sufficient to form ethylene and/or propylene;converting the ethylene and/or propylene under conditions sufficient to higher olefins, a synthetic hydrocarbons, aromatics, or a product produced therefrom, for use as a feedstock for chemicals or as transportation fuel; orhydrating the ethylene or propylene under conditions sufficient to form ethanol or propanol.
