An asymptotics leading from the reactive Boltzmann equation towards reaction-diffusion equations has been introduced in (1) (cf. also (10), for an analogous scaling starting from reactive BGK equations). We propose here a justification of this asymptotics, at the formal level, based on a non- dimensional form of the original equations.
