Claim 16:
17. The process of claim 16, wherein the mebrane electrolysis cell further comprises:
a second ion exchange membrane, the second ion exchange membrane being disposed on the catalyst layer of the gas diffusion electrode and being configured to exchange ions received from the catalyst layer of the gas diffusion electrode to an opposed surface of the second ion exchange membrane; wherein the first and second ion exchange membranes define a base build up compartment interposed between the cathod compartment and the anode compartment;
wherein in performing the process:
the OH− ions are exchange through the second ion exchange membrane to the opposed surface of the second ion exchange membrane into the base build up compartment; and
the OH− ions combine with the lithium ions in the base build up compartment to form the recovered Li.
