1. A method for preparation of regenerable metal oxide CO2 sorbent, said method using silver carbonate, an alkali metal silicate, an alkali metal carbonate, and an alkaline earth metal salt, which comprises:
- a. pelletizing silver carbonate, wherein pellets are formed;
b. preparing an aqueous solution of alkali metal silicate and alkali metal carbonate, wherein the amount of alkali metal silicate and alkali metal carbonate are determined via the desired wt% of each in the final product;
c. contacting said pellets with said alkali metal silicate/alkali metal carbonate aqueous solution, thereby forming silicate coated, alkali metal carbonate impregnated pellets;
d. drying said silicate coated, alkali metal carbonate impregnated pellets;
e. preparing an aqueous solution of alkaline earth metal salt, wherein the amount of alkaline earth metal salt utilized is determined by the desired wt% of alkaline earth metal salt in the final product;
f. contacting said silicate coated/alkali metal carbonate impregnated pellets with said alkaline earth metal salt aqueous solution, thereby forming an alkaline earth metal coating on said silicate coated, alkali metal carbonate impregnated pellets;
g. drying said alkaline earth metal/silicate coated, alkali metal carbonate impregnated pellets.

Abstract
A technique for preparing an unsupported, high capacity CO2 sorbent. The sorbent is comprised of silver carbonate, alkali metal silicate and alkaline earth metal salt binders for structural integrity, and alkali metal carbonate for CO2 sorption promotion. The sorbent disclosed in this invention has a high silver oxide density, consumes minimum volume, exhibits high CO2 absorption rates, and resists dusting and degradation for at least 50 absorption/desorption cycles.
