Complex coacervation salt influences

Summarising we thus see that the same factors which are determinative for complex coacervates in influencing the intensity of the complex relations (the pH at constant mixing proportion of the colloids suppressive action of salts) also hold with these complex gels and manifest themselves in reversible changes of the amount of swelling water (compare p. 450, Fig. 

It was first observed in the influence of salts on the electrophoretic velocity of complex coacervate drops and complex flocculi. ... 

As regards the influence of salts on complex coacervation or complex flocculation we have presented it as if only the valency of the cations or anions were of importance...
