The combustion of fossil fuels emits a large amount of CO2, which causes the greenhouse effect and leads to global warming and poses a serious threat to life on earth. CO2 capture technology can effectively reduce the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, alleviate the greenhouse effect, and improve the environment. CO2 capture technologies include absorption, membrane separation and adsorption separation, among which chemical absorption and separation have the advantages of high efficiency, low cost and easy availability of materials. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of three main chemical absorption and separation methods (inorganic reagents, organic amines and ionic liquids) adsorb CO2 are summarized. Among inorganic adsorbents, NH3·H2O can achieve rapid and efficient absorption of CO2, and it is relatively stable and not easy to degrade. Common types of organic amine adsorbents are monoethanolamine, methanolamine, and sterically hindered amine. However, it is difficult for a single organic amine adsorbent to meet the requirements of high absorption rate, high absorption capacity and low reaction heat at the same time. Therefore, mixing organic amine absorbents with different characteristics can improve their performance in absorbing CO2. Ionic liquids have the advantages of good thermal stability, very low saturation vapor pressure, and designable structure, and are a new type of CO2 adsorbent, but ionic liquids have high viscosity themselves. Combining ionic liquids with organic or inorganic porous materials to form loaded ionic liquid materials, which can be used as CO2 adsorbent not only to improve the separation effect, but also to avoid the problem of high viscosity caused by direct absorption of ionic liquids, thus improving CO2 adsorption efficiency.
