Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure is intended to provide an electrolyzer capable of selectively recovering lithium. The electrolyzer recovers lithium ions Li+ from a material M. The electrolyzer includes: a pair of electrodes; and a cation exchange membrane provided between the pair of electrodes and having a lithium ion conductivity. The cation exchange membrane allows, among cations contained in the material M, more lithium ions Li+ to pass therethrough than other cations Ca2+ and Na+. The electrolyzer is configured to apply a voltage between the pair of electrodes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An electrolyzer for recovering lithium ions from a material, the electrolyzer comprising: a pair of electrodes; and a cation exchange membrane provided between the pair of electrodes and having a lithium ion conductivity, the cation exchange membrane allowing, among cations contained in the material, more lithium ions to pass therethrough than other cations. 2 . The electrolyzer according to claim 1 , further comprising: a voltage application device configured to apply a voltage between the pair of electrodes. 3 . The electrolyzer according to claim 1 , wherein the material comprises an organic solution or a saturated aqueous solution, and wherein the cation exchange membrane comprises LTAP-base ceramic having a NASICON type crystal structure. 4 . The electrolyzer according to claim 1 , wherein the material comprises an aqueous solution, and wherein the cation exchange membrane comprises LTAP-base ceramic having a NASICON type crystal structure, and has a surface coated with a coating. 5 . The electrolyzer according to claim 4 , wherein the coating comprises lithium phosphorus oxynitride glass.
