A sorbent for carbon dioxide is made by combining a strong alkaline material with an acidic material, and an adhesive medium. The components are mixed together, cut into pieces, and sieved. The resulting composition absorbs carbon dioxide from a gas stream, and can be regenerated by the application of steam. In the preferred embodiment, the alkaline material is calcium hydroxide, and the acidic material is potassium bisulfate. The ratio of the weight of the alkaline material to that of the acidic material, before mixing of the components, is preferably in the range of about 9-20.
