Sodium-based metal production system

A sodium-based metal production system comprising:

• a reactor comprising at least one chamber and at least one heat source;
• a first inlet subsystem;
• a separation unit;
• a sodium oxide dissociation unit;
• and
• a control circuitry configured to:
• control the first inlet subsystem to feed a respective predetermined amount of a first material into the at least one chamber;
• control the first inlet subsystem to feed a respective predetermined amount of sodium into the at least one chamber;
• and
• control the at least one heat source to heat the at least one chamber,
• wherein the separation unit is configured to separate sodium oxide from a metal produced in the reactor from the first material,
• wherein the sodium oxide dissociation unit is configured to dissociate sodium oxide output from the separation unit to produce sodium and oxygen, and
• wherein the produced sodium is output through the first outlet of the sodium oxide dissociation unit, and
• the system is configured to recycle the produced sodium.
