  Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Unio in Carbonic Acid Medium

  By Rajesh Kumar Singh, Pankaj Kumar Singh, Deepmala Kumari

  Abstract: Unio is a calciferous animal, and its outer surface is made of calcium carbonate. It usually happens in sources of sweet water. They create carbonic acid by absorbing carbon dioxide. It changes the pH of sweet water sources thus water becomes acidic. It develops corrosive environment for Unio. Carbonic acid interacts with Unio to form corrosion cells on the interface of Unio. This acid oxidizes calcium carbonate into calcium ions …
