| Sumario: | Lithium has become a key element of technologies in the second decade of the 21st century. Its applications and use have grown exponentially. Similarly, research related to the element in both geological, metallogenic, chemical and industrial aspects. Globally, lithium was first identified in Sweden in 1817 by Johan August Arfvedson. Argentine chemist and geologist Luciano R. Catalano drew attention to its presence in the Puna salars in the 1920s. Intensive studies begin in the decade of 1970 and 1980 where they participate the National University of Salta (UNSa), the National Commission of Space Investigations (CNIE) and the General Direction of Military Fabrications (DGFM). After an unsuccessful attempt at exploitation in the salar del Rincón, they bear fruit with the first project underway at the salar del Hombre Muerto (Fénix Project, FMC) in the early 1990s. In this work a brief synthesis of the history of the geological and chemical investigations around lithium and the men who carried it out is made.
