We present a microscopic theory for thermally driven transport in colloidal suspension of charged particles. For small valency, we recover known results from Debye-Huckel approximation, which are in quantitative agreement with recent experiments on polystyrene particles and sodium dodecyl sulphate micelles. Significant modifications occur for strong charges, where the thermodiffusion coefficient is independent of the Debye length and the permittivity of the electrolyte, but is proportional to the valency of the macroion.
