The method of claim 3 wherein the R of the ionic solution provided to the first absorption stage is in the range of 1.4-1.8. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the series of absorption stages includes an intermediate absorption stage, and wherein the ionic solution provided to each of the first, intermediate, and last stages has a different R value. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the ionic solution provided to each of the first, intermediate, and last stages has a different temperature. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the temperature of the ionic solution provided to first absorption stage is between 10° C. and 20° C.; the temperature of the ionic solution provided to the last absorption stage is between 0° C. and 10° C.; and the temperature of the ionic solution provided to the intermediate absorption stage is between 10° C. and 20° C. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the R of the ionic solution provided to the last absorption stage is in the range of 1.8-2.0, and the R of the ionic solution provided to the first absorption stage is in the range of 1.4-1.8. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the temperature and the R of the ionic solution provided to the first absorption stage is selected to promote the precipitation of ammonia bicarbonate solids in the first stage. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising: collecting the ammonia bicarbonate solids in the first stage, andremoving the collected ammonia bicarbonate solids from the first stage. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising: separating the removed ammonia bicarbonate solids from the ionic solution in a hydroclone. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the series of absorption stages are contained in a single absorption vessel. 13. A system for removing carbon dioxide from a flue gas stream, the system comprising: a series of absorption stages including a first absorption stage and a last absorption stage relative to the flow direction of the flue gas stream, each absorption stage in the series of absorption stages including:a gas-liquid contact mass transfer device;a liquid distribution device; anda solution delivery path configured to deliver a supply of ionic solution to the liquid distribution device, the solution delivery path including a heat exchange device; wherein the solution delivery paths for the first and last absorption stages are configured to provide the first absorption stage with an ionic solution having a lower ammonia-to-CO2 mole ratio than an ammonia-to-CO2 mole ratio of the ionic solution provided to the last absorption stage. 14.
