In the present investigation, corrosion inhibition of mild steel in acidic solutions has been tested primarily via weight loss tests. Further the test solutions were tested by spectroscopic method as ferrozine as a reagent. By using this method, the corrosion rate of mild steel in various time interval and inhibition efficiencies of leaf and bark extracts of Schleichra oleosa were calculated. Ferrous ion chelating ability of extracts and total phenol content in extracts were calculated using the reagents such as ferric chloride and foloin-ciocalteau reagents respectively. The results of both weight loss as well as spectroscopic methods were found to comparable. The result of the present study has a promising effect in both industrial and day to day livings.
