Water pollution has already become a significant worldwide problem especially in textile dyeing industry. This paper describes decolorization of dye water modelled by textile dye wastewater. Decolorization was performed on adsorbent made from physico-chemical modified waste hemp fibers, obtained as a by-product from production of ropes. Adsorbent is relatively dispersive and contains heterogeneous porous particles, with carbon as a dominant element. Obtained results have shown that positive effect of adsorption directly depends on contact time, pH, temperature and initial dye concentration. Dye concentration decreases in time, especially when the used concentration is the initial one. The effect of temperature below 40 C is not significant, but adsorption gets more intensive when performed at 60 C. The higher degree of decolorization is achieved at lower initial dye concentrations, although the highest initial dye concentration leads to higher dye adsorption. The experimental results of adsorption were described by using Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacity ranges from 1.98 to 2.13 mg g-1for linear and 2.03 to 2.12 mg g-1 for nonlinear form.
