Adsorption behavior and mechanism of Cr(VI) using Sakura waste from aqueous solution

The main chemical components of Sakura leaves are cellulose 16.6%, hemicellulose 10.4%, lignin 18.3%, ash 11.4%, and others 43.3%. The adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) onto Sakura leaves can achieve 435.25 mg g⿿1, much higher than other similar agroforestry wastes.
