  Recently, Yan-Xia Xu, et al. in the article Ref. [Phys. Plasmas \textbf{18},
052301 (2011)] have studied the effects of various plasma parameters on
interaction of two ion-acoustic solitary waves in an unmagnetized
three-dimensional electron-positron-ion quantum plasma. They have used the
extended reductive perturbation technique, the so-called, extended
Poincare'-Lighthill-Kuo (PLK) technique, to deduce from the model governing the
quantum hydrodynamics (QHD) differential equations leading to the soliton
dynamical properties, namely, Korteweg-de Vries evolution equations (one for
each wave) and coupled differential equations describing the phase-shift in
trajectories of solitons due to the two dimensional collision. The variation of
the calculated collision phase-shifts are then numerically inspected in terms
of numerous plasma fractional parameters. In this comment we give some notes
specific to the validity of the results of above-mentioned article and refer to
important misconceptions about the use of the Fermi-temperature in quantum
plasmas, appearing in this article and many other recently published ones.
