The conditions of existence of solitons have been determined by Wang et al.[Phys. Lett. A 339, 96 (2005)], in negative ions containing dusty plasmas where Boltzmannian ions and electrons are assumed. The study is revisited taking into account actual elementary reactions in plasma conditions, viz., particles attachment by grains as well as neutrals and electron impact ionization of neutrals. Dust charge variation is self-consistently introduced leading to the Boltzmannian approximation relaxation.
