Classification: CPC B  C  F  Y | IPC B  C

Claim 22:
23. An electrochemical apparatus for at least partial gas separation, comprising:
a first electrochemical cell comprising a first electrode;
a second electrochemical cell comprising a second electrode;
an inlet for receiving a fluid mixture;
a conduit in fluidic communication with the first electrode, the second electrode, and the inlet, wherein the inlet, conduit, and first electrode are arranged such that flow of the fluid mixture received by the inlet can expose the fluid mixture to the first electrode; and
an intermediate outlet positioned and configured to receive a reaction product produced at the first electrode and separated from the fluid mixture;
wherein the conduit and the second electrode are arranged such that flow of the fluid mixture at least partially depleted of the reaction product produced at the first electrode can expose the fluid mixture at least partially depleted of the reaction product to the second electrode.
