Abstract
This paper on the unity of the anaerobic and aerobic iron corrosion process in soil was originally presented at the Fourth National Bureau of Standards Soil Corrosion Conference in 1937. It covers such topics as corrosion from an electrochemical point of view, the anaerobic iron corrosion process, iron corrosion by the sulfate reduction process, iron corrosion by carbonic acid reduction process, iron corrosion by nitrate reduction process, iron corrosion due to chemical substances in the soil, and the aerobic iron corrosion process. A statement is made to the effect that the hydrogen acceptor which is invariably present with all forms of iron corrosion considered, constitutes the unity in the anaerobic and aerobic iron corrosion process in the soil.
