The invention relates to a system for the electrolytic production of metals which uses reactive electrodialysis and avoids the step of solvent extraction in the electro-production processes, and which comprises: a reactive electrodialysis cell (EDR) formed by a number of compartments; storage means, such as an anolyte tank, where the anolyte is stored for the operation of the system; pumping means, such as an anolyte pump, which pumps anolyte via pipes or tubes from the anolyte tank to the inside of the cell, and again via another pipe to the anolyte tank (8); storage means, such as a catholyte tank, where the anolyte is stored for the operation of the system; pumping means, such as a catholyte pump, which pumps catholyte via pipes or tubes from the catholyte tank to the inside of the cell, and again via other pipes or tubes to the catholyte tank; and a power source connected to the anode of a first compartment on the positive side and to the cathode of a fourth compartment on the negative side. |
