Solid–liquid phase equilibria for the two aqueous systems (LiBO2 + NaBO2 + H2O) and (LiBO2 + KBO2 + H2O) at T = 288.15 K and p = 0.1 MPa were determined using the isothermal dissolution equilibrium method. The experimental results show that the phase diagrams consist of one two-salt co-saturated invariant point, two univariant solubility isotherms, and three crystallization fields. The two systems belong to simple co-saturated type, and neither double salt nor solid solution were found. The densities change regularly as the sodium metaborate (potassium metaborate) concentration increases in solution, and reach their maximum values at the invariant point. Based on the Pitzer and its extended Harvie–Møller–Weare (HMW) model, the solubilities for the ternary systems at 288.15 K were represented, and the calculated results agree well with the experimental values.
