Abstract

A process and system for separating CO2 from a flue gas stream is disclosed. The process involves (a) contacting a flue gas stream containing water vapor and CO2 with an ionic absorbent under absorption conditions to absorb at least a portion of the CO2 from the flue gas stream and form a CO2-absorbent complex; wherein the ionic absorbent comprises a cation and an anion comprising an amine moiety; and (b) recovering a gaseous product having a reduced CO2 content.
