Abstract
The conclusion of classical Debye-Hückel theory that a phase separation may occur in highly unsymmetrical plasmas or electrolytes is shown to be false and to arise from a serious error in the treatment of the interaction of pairs of the most highly charged ions. After an approximate correction for this error, no phase separation is predicted. Specific application to iron in the solar plasmas is discussed.Keywords
