Low-frequency weakly nonlinear waves are investigated in a weakly dissipative quantum plasma. The dissipation arises due to collisions. The weakly nonlinear wave is shown to be governed by a damped Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. The damping occurs due to ion-neutral collisions. Analytical and numerical solutions reveal that the nonlinear waves exhibit weakly dissipative solitons.
