An　investigation　was　conducted　on　the　adsorption　of　oxymatrine　(OMT)　on　a　spherical　cellulose　adsorbent　embedded　with　wattle　bark　tannin.　The　results　showed　that　the　adsorption　of　the　OMT　on　the　adsorbent　was　solution　pH　dependent　and　the　adsorption　process　followed　the　Freundlich　adsorption　isotherm.　The　adsorption　kinetics　of　the　OMT　on　the　adsorbent　could　be　well　described　by　the　pseudo-second-order　rate　model.　And,　the　adsorption　capacity　calculated　by　the　pseudo-second-order　rate　model　was　close　to　the　experimental　data.　Desorption　and　regeneration　experiments　showed　that　the　OMT　adsorbed　on　the　adsorbent　could　be　easily　recovered　by　50%　methanol　solution.
