The adsorption of crystal violet (CV) onto date palm fibers (DPFs) was examined in aqueous solution at 25°C. The experimental maximum adsorption capacity value was0.66×10−6. Langmuir, Freundlich, Elovich and Temkin models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms. The influence of pH and temperature on dye removal was evaluated. The percentage removal of CV dye by adsorption onto DPF at different pH and temperatures showed that these factors play a role in the adsorption process. Thermodynamic analysis was performed, and the Gibbs free energyΔGο, enthalpy changeΔHο, and entropyΔSοwere calculated. The negative values ofΔGοindicate spontaneous adsorption. The negative value ofΔHοindicates that the interaction between CV and DPF is exothermic, and the positive value ofΔSοindicates good affinity between DPF and CV. The kinetic data were fitted to a pseudo-second-order model.
