Is it correct and formal to use “ones” in this sentence..?
Ions follow Hofmeister series and “salting out” effect is more significant of anions than cations and multivalent salts than monovalent ones.
Thank you for your opinion and help. :)

I would write "more significant for" and repeat "salts" instead of "ones" for greater clarity.

Ones in this sentence is taking the role of a pronoun demonstrating the difference between two salts. Although, its not incorrect, I personally would say "monovalent salts" as opposed to "monovalent ones" for clarity.
Thank you very much James.
