Methods and systems for deacidizing gaseous mixtures

A method for deacidizing a gaseous mixture comprising an acid gas, the process comprising:

• contacting the gaseous mixture with an absorbent in an absorption unit, wherein the absorbent comprises a carrier phase and an organic phase that is immiscible with the carrier phase;
• allowing the organic phase to absorb the acid gas and convert the acid gas into an absorbed acid gas, so as to convert the absorbent into a gas-rich absorbent and to convert the gaseous mixture into a purified gaseous mixture;
• allowing the absorbed acid gas to be transferred into the carrier phase, so as to form a first gas-lean phase and a gas-rich phase in the gas-rich absorbent;
• providing the gas-rich absorbent to a separation unit, so as to separate the first gas-lean phase from the gas-rich phase;
• cycling the separated first gas-lean phase back into the absorption unit;
• providing the separated gas-rich phase to a regeneration unit, so as to obtain the acid gas and a second gas-lean phase;
• and
• cycling the second gas-lean phase back into the absorption unit.
