Abstract：
Spodumene flotation stands as the most commonly used method to concentrate lithium minerals. However, it faces significant challenges related to low collector recoveries and similarity in the surface characteristics of the minerals, which make the effective separation of this valuable mineral difficult. For this reason, numerous researchers have conducted studies to address and confront this problem. In this work, an exhaustive bibliographic search was carried out using keywords and search queries, and the results were structured in three sections according to temporal, methodological, and thematic criteria. The first section covers the period from 1950 to 2004, focusing on experimental tests. The second section covers from 2004 to the present and focuses on flotation tests and measurement analysis. Simultaneously, the third section spans from 2011 to the present and is based on molecular dynamics simulations. Topics covered include spodumene surface properties, the influence of metal ions, pre-treatment techniques, and the use of collectors. Ultimately, molecular dynamics simulations are positioned as a tool that accurately represents experimental phenomena. In this context, specialized software such as Materials Studio or Gromacs prove to be reliable instruments that allow a detailed study of mineral surfaces and other elements to be carried out, which justifies their consideration for future research in this scientific field.
摘要：
锂辉石浮选是最常用的锂矿物浓缩方法。然而,它面临着与低捕收剂回收率和矿物表面特征相似性有关的重大挑战，这使得这种有价值的矿物难以有效分离。出于这个原因,许多研究人员进行了研究来解决和面对这个问题。在这项工作中,使用关键字和搜索查询进行了详尽的书目搜索，结果根据时间分为三个部分，方法论,和主题标准。第一部分涵盖1950年至2004年的时期，重点是实验测试。第二部分涵盖从2004年到现在，重点是浮选测试和测量分析。同时,第三部分从2011年至今，基于分子动力学模拟。涵盖的主题包括锂辉石表面特性，金属离子的影响，预处理技术,和收藏家的使用。最终,分子动力学模拟被定位为准确表示实验现象的工具。在这种情况下，MaterialsStudio或Gromacs等专业软件被证明是可靠的仪器，可以对矿物表面和其他元素进行详细研究。这证明了他们对这一科学领域未来研究的考虑。
