Abstract
In a recent paper (J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 46 (1979) 1899), the author developed a thermodynamic theory on the complex coacervation in the absence of low molecular ions, under the assumption that the coacervation is a condensation phenomenon of the aggregate of a polyanion and a polycation in aqueous solution, by obtaining the interaction potential U between these aggregates. In the present paper, the theory has been extended to a more complicated phenomenon in salt-containing solutions. The phase separation of this three-component system is analyzed by a new method. This treatment has modified the interaction potential U . It has been found that the presence of salts not only suppresses in most cases but also enhances the coacervation in some cases.
