The feasibility of using extract of Grewa Venusta (wild jute tree) root as corrosion inhibitor with mild steel was investigated using gravimetric and electrochemical techniques in . The results showed that corrosion rate increased with an increase in temperature, and decreased with an increase in inhibitor's concentration and time; maximum inhibition efficiency was 97.60% and 99.88% in the presence of KI -addition, and was assumed to occur via adsorption of the inhibitor molecules on the metal surface. The extract contains metallic elements such as calcium, magnesium, mono acetate (C5H10O4) and 4H-Pyrazole (C9H10F6N2S) that suppressed the anodic dissolution. The adsorption of the extract molecules on the mild steel surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The results showed that the inhibitor acted as a mixedtype inhibitor.
