A rigorous theoretical investigation has been made of dust-acoustic (DA) Korteweg-de Vries (K-dV) solitons by the reductive perturbation method. An unmagnetized dusty plasma consisting of negatively charged adiabatic hot dust fluid and of Boltzmann distributed electrons and ions has been considered. It has been found that the DA K-dV solitons associated with only negative potential can exist in such a dusty plasma. It has been also found that the effects of dust fluid temperature have significantly modified the basic properties (amplitude and width) of the solitary potential structures in such a dusty plasma. The implications of these results to some space and astrophysical plasma situations are briefly discussed.
