The maximum extent of violet methyl removal was found at 100 mg/L concentration, pH = 4.6, contact time = 50 minutes, 120 rotation speed, and absorbent dose = 1.488 g/L (0.0744 gram in 50 millilitre). In order to determine the reaction mechanism, two kinetic models were used, namely pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second kinetics models. The adsorption kinetics followed pseudo-second order model, and the mechanism of chemical reaction was the rate-limiting step. Furthermore, the Langmuir and Freundlich Isotherms were considered for absorbing the violet methyl on the palm fiber absorbent. The adsorption isotherms showed a balanced relationship between the materials adsorbed on the adsorbent (qe) and a balanced concentration in the solution (Ce) at a constant temperature. This method was used to remove the violet methyl colour from real samples such as industrial sewage, tap and river water. %U http://www.ajchem-a.com/article_92584_b09970a0c1daeeee5ec3a51fa6127479.pdf
