Chemical adsorption is usually carried out using amines (MEA and DMEA) or potassium carbonate solution and is a very complex, high-efficiency technology (therefore allowing smaller systems) but does not separate nitrogen (N2).
This process operates at very low pressures thanks to the high MEA/DMEA-CO2 affinity.
The solvent can be regenerated with a thermal process.
