✦ Synopsis

It is a very interesting paper [1] and the author should be congratulated for touching such an important subject and making a comprehensive review. However, while doing so the author has discussed many other topics which are not connected with the calculation of chloride difussion coefficient. For the part concerning about the calculation there are several points, which we would like to discuss.
