Abstract

This letter gives some critical comments on the paper in the title authored by Saji et al. [published in Kagaku Kogaku Ronbunshu, 22, 1273-1280 (1996)]. We point out that the momentum and the CO2-conservation equations used to simulate the dissolution of CO2 in the sea may be seriously erroneous. An inconsistency between these equations and some of the results of the simulation is suspected. Questions are raised on the authors' assumptions of physical quantities such as the hydrate density, the CO 2-in-seawater solubility, and the initial size of liquid-CO2 droplets or hydrate balls released into the sea.
