Kanger Ghati National Park Madarkonta and Kodri Bahar. These are Kotamsar cave, Kailash Cave, Dandak Cave, Devgiri Cave. Many other caves were also discovered in the national park. These caves have very fine structures of dripstones i.e. stalactites and stalagmites. Chemically these formations are recrystallized calcium carbonate. These structures have taken million of years to form. Kotamsar and Kailash caves are opened for tourists and other caves are closed for tourists. Only those caves which have openings have been discovered in the National park. There are many caves which have no opening and they are yet to be discovered. As approaches to most of
Calcium carbonate caves. Two hydrated phases of calcium carbonate, monohydrocalcite, CaCO·HO and ikaite, CaCO·6HO, may precipitate from water at ambient conditions and persist as metastable phases. In contrast to the open equilibrium scenario above, many swimming pools are managed by addition of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) to about 2 mM as a buffer, then control of pH through use of HCl, NaHSO, NaCO, NaOH or chlorine formulations that are acidic or basic. In this situation, dissolved inorganic carbon (total inorganic carbon) is far from equilibrium with atmospheric CO. Progress towards equilibrium through outgassing of CO is slowed by (i) the slow reaction HCO
