Abstract The strong acidic cationic exchange fiber (SACEF) was used to adsorb yohimbine from alcoholic solution. Batch experiments were performed to examine the effects of adsorbent dosage, solution pH and temperature in the adsorption process. The thermodynamics and kinetics of adsorption were also analyzed. The optimum yohimbine adsorption onto the SACEF was found at pH = 5 of solution and equilibrium could be attained within 20 min. The equilibrium adsorption data were preferably modeled with the Freundlich isotherm model and the thermodynamic parameters were calculated to be: 11.99 kJ/mol
