does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
As far as I know there is no digestion at all in the large intestine, only absorption.

The mechanical process of digestion is first, followed closely by chemical digestion. After that it is mostly chemical digestion, then absorption, and lastly elimination, or defecation.
The large intestine does not perform any digestion whatsoever. It is part of the gastrointestinal tract, but it only performs mainly absorption, as in water, some minerals, and some vitamins.
Light absorption is a physical process; but the effects of the absorption may be chemical.
Mechanical and chemical digestion are not the same.
