This is treated within a linearised or Debye-Huckel approximation. The model predicts liquid-liquid phase separation at low ionic strength. The interface structure and surface tension between coexisting phases is calculated using a variational approximation. Results are also obtained for structure factors, which are shown to obey the Stillinger-Lovett moment conditions. As one approaches the critical points, the structure factors may diverge at a non-zero wavevector, indicating that the critical points could be replaced by charge-density-wave phases.12 pages, 8 figures, RevTeX 4.0Soft Condensed MatterStatistical Mechanicstext
