The invention discloses a method for extracting 
cellulose from manioc waste. The method comprises the following steps: washing manioc waste, 
drying and smashing; adding water to the grinded manioc waste, boiling till the water is in a boiling state, so that 
starch in the manioc waste becomes pasty, then adding with 
enzyme, carrying out enzymolysis under 
ultrasound, deactivating 
enzyme, centrifuging, and removing the supernate; adding a 
sodium hydroxide solution into the residue for 
alkaline hydrolysis, washing, filtering, and 
drying, and thus obtaining manioc waste 
cellulose. The invention further discloses a method for preparing a heavy 
metal adsorption material by adopting the manioc waste 
cellulose as the 
raw material, and an 
adsorption method of heavy 
metal ions. The manioc waste is taken as a starting material, the cellulose is extracted from the manioc waste through a method combining bio-
enzyme and 
alkaline hydrolysis, the manioc waste cellulose with high content can be rapidly and efficiently obtained, the waste is turned into valuable, the obtained heavy 
metal adsorption material has great adsorption capacity for the heavy metal ions in water, especially has an excellent 
adsorption effect for 
cadmium and lead in the water, and therefore, the manioc waste cellulose has good economy and environment protection value.
