The present invention is directed to an improved method and system for separating and purifying gas using gas-liquid absorption. According to this invention, the method is carried out in an absorber, where a liquid absorbent, a gas mixture containing a gas to be absorbed were introduced from an inlet. During absorption, the second liquid phase was separated out from the absorbent. The absorbed gas was accumulated in one of liquid phases. After absorption, two liquid phases were separated. One of the liquids with rich absorbed gas was forward to regenerator. After regeneration, the liquid was cycled back to absorber. The liquid phase with lean absorbed gas was back to absorber directly to complete the cycle.

That which is claimed is: 1. A method for separating a gas from a gas mixture, the method comprising: introducing a liquid absorbent into an absorber; said liquid absorbent comprising at least one activated agent and at least one solvent, wherein the at least one activated agent reacts or combines with an absorbed gas, and the at least one solvent does not react with the absorbed gas; introducing the gas mixture into the absorber, allowing the liquid absorbent to absorb the gas and to convert the gas into the absorbed gas; allowing the absorbed gas to react or combine with the at least one activated agent in the liquid absorbent to form at least one new compound, wherein said at least one new compound is separated out from the liquid absorbent and forms a gas rich phase; separating the gas rich phase from the rest of the liquid absorbent; cycling the at least one solvent in the rest of the liquid absorbent back to the absorber; regenerating the gas rich phase to obtain the gas and the at least one activated agent; cycling the at least one activated agent obtained from the regenerating step back the absorber. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the gas mixture contains 0.001 to 99.999% of gas by weight. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the ratio of the at least one activated agent and the at least one solvent in the liquid absorbent is from about 1:10000 to about 10000:1 by volume. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the activated agent is made of one or more members selected from the group consisting of alkaline salts, ammonium, ammonia, alkanolamines, amines, amides and combinations thereof; and wherein the solvent is made of one or more members selected from the group consisting of water, alkanes, unsaturated hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, esters, carbohydrates and combinations thereof. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the gas in the gas mixture is selected from the group consisting of CO2, SO2, H2S, COS, fluorides, HCl, and combinations thereof. 6. The method of claim 1 further comprising maintaining the temperature of the absorber within the range from about 1° C. to about 300° C.; and maintaining the pressure of the absorber within the range from about 0.0001 to about 10000 atm. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising collecting the gas regenerated from the gas rich phase. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one activated agent and the at least one solvent form a solution. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the liquid absorbent and the gas mixture are introduced into the absorber through an identical inlet or two different inlets. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of regenerating the gas rich phase comprises regenerating the gas rich phase in a regeneration colunm. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of cycling the at least one solvent back to the absorber comprises cycling the rest of the liquid absorbent back to the absorber. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the gas is an impurity to be removed from the gas mixture. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the solvent enhances absorption rate of the gas into the liquid absorbent. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the gas is absorbed at 25° C., 1 atm. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising collecting the gas from the regeneration column. 16. A method for separating a gas from a gas mixture, comprising: introducing a liquid absorbent into an absorber through a first inlet, the liquid absorbent comprising at least one activated agent and at least one solvent, wherein the at least one activated agent reacts or combines with an absorbed gas and the at least one solvent does not react with the absorbed gas, but increases absorption rate of the gas into the liquid absorbent; introducing the gas mixture into the absorber through a second inlet, allowing the liquid absorbent to absorb the gas and to convert the gas into the absorbed gas, wherein the second inlet is the same as or different from the first inlet; allowing the absorbed gas to react or combine with the at least one activated agent in the liquid absorbent to form at least one new compound, wherein the at least one new compound is separated out from the liquid absorbent and forms a gas rich phase; separating the gas rich phase from the rest of the liquid absorbent; cycling the rest of the liquid absorbent back to the absorber; regenerating the gas rich phase in a regeneration column to obtain the gas and the at least one activated agent; and cycling the at least one activated agent from the regeneration column back to the absorber.
