Definitions for "Carbonation"
This terms is used to describe both the amount of CO2 in the beer, as well as the process of putting CO2 into the beer. See force carbonation and natural carbonation.
Reaction between carbon dioxide from air and a hydroxide to form a carbonate, especially in cement paste, mortar, or concrete.

Progressive cerbonation of concrete can result in increased corrosion of rebar and reinforcing elements.
