A Temperature Swing Adsorption method for separating a first component, comprising a more adsorbable component, from a feed stream comprising more than 50 mol % of a second component, comprising a less adsorbable component, is provided. The method includes providing an adsorbent structure suitable for adsorbing the first component, the structure being of the parallel passage contactor type, and cyclically implementing the following steps. Passing the feed stream through the adsorbent structure thus adsorbing the first component and producing a stream depleted in the first component and enriched in the second component. Heating the adsorbent structure to desorb the adsorbed first component by means of circulating a heating stream enriched in the first component at a temperature suitable for regeneration. And cooling the structure by means of passing through it more than 50% of the stream enriched in the second component produced in the step a).

1. A Temperature Swing Adsorption method for separating a first component, comprising a more adsorbable component, from a feed stream comprising more than 50 mol % of a second component, comprising a less adsorbable component, the method comprising: providing an adsorbent structure suitable for adsorbing the first component, the structure being of the parallel passage contactor type,and cyclically implementing the steps consisting of:a) passing the feed stream through the adsorbent structure thus adsorbing the first component and producing a stream depleted in the first component and enriched in the second component,b) heating the adsorbent structure to desorb the adsorbed first component by means of circulating a heating stream enriched in the first component at a temperature suitable for regeneration,c) cooling the structure by means of passing through it more than 50% of the stream enriched in the second component produced in the step a). 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the adsorbent structure is cooled by having 100% of the stream enriched in the second component that passes through the adsorbent structure pass through it. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the recovery of the first component is between 70 to 98%. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein in step b), the heating stream is produced at least partly during at least one previous adsorption cycle. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the heating stream is circulated by means of a circulator. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the circulator is a fan or a blower. 7. The method of claim 4 wherein the desorbed first component is released from the loop during the whole step b). 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the desorbed first component is released from the loop at the end of step b). 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the passages of the adsorbent structure are purged or vented at the beginning of step b). 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the heating stream present in the passages of the adsorbent structure at the end of step b) is recovered at the beginning of step c). 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the heating stream is cooled down before entering the adsorbent structure. 12. The method of claim 1 wherein the heat available in the stream enriched in the first component flowing out of the adsorbent structure is recovered at least during a part of the cooling step c). 13. The method of claim 1 wherein time required to complete step a), the time required to complete step b), and the time required to complete step c) are each in the range from 1 to 20 minutes. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein time required to complete step a), the time required to complete step b), and the time required to complete step c) are each in the range from 5 to 15 minutes. 15. The method of claim 1 further comprising 2 adsorbent structures, wherein a first adsorbent structure is performing step a), and a second adsorbent structure successively performing step b) and step c), wherein the duration of step a) being equal to the combined duration of step b) and step c). 16. The method of claim 1 further comprising 3 adsorbent structures, wherein the first adsorbent structure is performing step a), a second adsorbent structure is performing step b), and a third adsorbent structure is performing step c), wherein the duration of the three steps are equal. 17. The method of claim 1 further comprising 2 or more adsorbent structures cyclically in series performing step a), the first component being extracted from the most saturated structure. 18. The method of claim 1 wherein the adsorbent structure is a parallel passages contactor, comprising a monolith structure, a honeycomb structure, a laminate packed structure, a rolled structure, fabrics in parallel sheets, spiral wound structure, or a fiber bundle structure. 19. The method of claim 1 wherein said adsorbent structure further comprises a gas channel thickness of between 0.5 and 2 mm. 20. The method of claim 1 wherein said adsorbent structure further comprises an adsorbent effective thickness of between 0.25 and 1 mm. 21. The method of claim 1 wherein said adsorbent structure further comprises a free volume available for the gas of between 25% and 50% of the adsorbent structure. 22. The method of claim 1 wherein CO2 from a flue gas is captured at near ambient pressure, and at ambient temperature, with a concentration of CO2 in the flue gas of between 5% and 30%, with a balance of mostly nitrogen. 23. The method of claim 22, wherein ambient pressure is <3 bara. 24. The method of claim 23, wherein ambient temperature is between 5° C. and 60° C. 25. The method of claim 22 wherein the capture of CO2 is higher than 80%. 26. The method of claim 25, wherein the capture of CO2 is higher than 90%. 27. The method of claim 22 wherein the CO2 concentration in the desorbed stream is higher than 80% mole. 28. The method of claim 27, wherein the CO2 concentration in the desorbed stream is higher than 90% mole. 29. The method of claim 22 wherein the feed to the unit comes from a pre-treatment unit removing at least partly one or more impurities comprising Hg, NOx, SOx, Water, dust. 30. The method of claim 29 wherein at least part of the stream enriched in the first component produced in step a) is used in the pre-treatment unit. 31. The method of claim 29, wherein at least part of the stream enriched in the first component produced in step a) is used in the pre-treatment unit after being used in step c). 32. The method of claim 31 wherein the pre-treatment unit is essentially a drier, and wherein the stream enriched in the second component is used to heat the drier or to cool the drier or both of them. 33. The method of claim 32, wherein the drier is a wheel type.
