Phase Equilibria of the Salt-Water System of Lithium and Borate Ions

It is well known that the exploitation of brine resources of salt lakes is based on the relevant phase equilibrium and phase diagrams. In this paper, the progresses on the stable and metastable equilibria, thermodynamic properties and predictive solubilities of the brine system containing lithium and borate ions at present were summarized. The problems existed and the new trends in the future were also carried out.
