Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After determination of the gas exchange parameters and fluorescence yield, leaf samples and nearby leaves (30–50 leaves in total per shoot), were taken from each shoot. The surface area of 10–20 leaves was measured by scanner (Perfection v700 Photo, Epson, Nagano-ken, Japan). Leaves were subsequently oven-dried at 80°C for 48 h to constant weight, dry weight was measured using an analytic balance, and then LMA was calculated. Dried leaf samples were ground into a dry flour, nitrogen concentration was determined by a VELP automatic Kjeldahl nitrogen determination apparatus (UDK-139, Milano, Italy), and then leaf nitrogen per mass (Nmass) and leaf nitrogen per area (Narea) were calculated.
The remaining 20–30 leaves were frozen and returned for laboratory analysis. One gram of frozen leaves (5–10 leaves) were cut into small pieces and weighed into 5–10 mg samples. Absolute chlorophyll concentration measurements were conducted using 95% (v/v) alcohol extracts of leaf tissue and a Shimadzu visible-ultraviolet spectrophotometer (UV 2250, Fukuoka, Japan), chlorophyll concentration see S2 Table. The remaining frozen leaves were used to determine cell wall nitrogen content according to Onoda et al. [7 ]. The fraction of leaf nitrogen allocated to cell walls (PCW) represents the ratio of cell wall nitrogen content to total nitrogen content.

The organic compounds in the CGW were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Shimadzu GCMS-QP2010, Japan) equipped with a DB-5ms capillary column (50 m × 0.25 mm ID × 0.25 μm). The temperature for the GC-MS interface and ion source were 250 °C and 220 °C, respectively. The mass spectrometer was operated in the electron ionization (EI) mode at 70 eV and helium (flow rate of 1 ml min−1) was used as carrier gas. The injection port was maintained at 300 °C. The column temperature was held at 80 °C for 1 min, and then programmed at 12 °C/min to 200 °C (hold 1 min), 8 °C/min to 280 °C (hold 15 min), then at 2 °C/min to 300 °C. The total organic carbon (TOC), which is used to represent the total concentration of contaminants in CGW, was determined using a TOC analyzer (Shimadzu TOC-VCPH, Japan) after dilution of the samples. The concentration of H2O2 and persulfate were measured using the iodide-spectrophotometric method described by Zhong et al [30 (link)]. The concentration of permanganate ion (MnO4) was measured with a UV-spectrophotometer (UV-2250, Shimadzu) at a wavelength of 525 nm [69 (link), 70 (link)]. Sulfate, ferrous ion and total dissolve iron were measured using a Hach DR2800 spectrophotometer (Loveland, CO) based on the modulated Hach methods (No. 8051, 8146, 8008). The pH of samples was determined using PHS-3C pH meter (Leici Instrument Co., Shanghai).

A stock solution containing Cr(VI) 500 mg/L was prepared by dissolving 0.7206 g of potassium dichromate with distilled water in a 500 mL of measuring flask and diluted to desired concentration, the pH of Cr(VI) solution were adjusted to desired value with 0.1 M of HNO3 and NaOH solution under the pH meter (Jingke, Shanghai Co.

Concentration of Cr(VI) was determined using a Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-2250, SHIMADZU, Japan), which analyzed through the purple red complex with 1, 5-diphenylcarbazide in acid medium at λ = 540 nm. The standard curves of Cr(VI) concentration was obtained through determining the absorbance of known concentration of Cr(VI) with 0–2.0 mg/L (seen in Fig. 4), the linear equation of absorbance (A) versus Cr(VI) concentration (C, mg/L) was calculated as follow: A = 0.31693 C + 0.00296, the scope of A is 0–0.7 and the correlation coefficient of the standard curve is 0.9973.

The prepared adsorbents were characterized by different analytical techniques, the elemental composition was studied through EDX. The prepared TiO2 NPs were confirmed through the UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-2250, Shimadzu, Tokyo, Japan). Then, 50 mg of BC was sonicated with ethanol and then TiO2 NPs were added to dispersed BC. The developed dispersed mixture was ultrasonicated for 3 h followed by drying at moderate conditions to remove the solvent. After drying, the prepared nanocomposite was deposited on a petri dish and subjected to microwave irradiation for 2 min to give better exfoliation [25 (link)]. XRD technique (BTX III Benchtop XRD Analyzer, Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) was used to find if adsorbents had crystalline structure. Particle size was calculated through Scherrer’s formula, which is given as: D=Kλβcosθ
where, K is a constant, λ is the wavelength of radiation and β is the full width half maximum.
Functional groups were determined through FT-IR (Perkin Elmer FT-IR Spectrophotometer, Waltham, MA, USA). The surface morphology of biosorbents before and after the experiment was studied by SEM (Carl Zeiss AG-SUPRA 35 VP SEM, Oberkochen, Germany).

The photocatalytic discoloration of MB dyes was performed on a reformative XPA-7 photocatalytic reaction instrument(Xujiang Electromechanical Plant, Nanjing, China). The incident light power was 162 mW/cm2, which was measured by a handheld Optical Power Meter (Newport 1916-R, Newport Corporation, California, CA, USA). The light exposure area of the quartz bottle was about 19.1 cm2. The discoloration effect was measured using the absorption spectroscopic technique. In the typical process, an aqueous solution of the MB dyes (10.0 mg/L and 30.0 mL) and 20.0 mg of the as-prepared photocatalysts were mixed in a 50 mL cylindrical quartz tube and left overnight in darkness to reach the adsorption equilibrium for the MB dyes. Then, the mixture was exposed to 1000 W Xe lamp irradiation with or without the light cutoff filters (λ > 420 nm), under ambient conditions and magnetic stirring. At given time intervals, the reaction solution was sampled and analyzed by a UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV 2250, Shimadzu, SHIMADZU (CHINA) Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China).
