The invention discloses a method for preparing high-adsorption ceramsite by using biochar. The method comprises: drying biomass waste, crushing, carrying out oxygen limited pyrolysis for 1-5 h at a temperature of 200-600 DEG C, cooling to a room temperature to obtain biochar, completely mixing biochar and any one or more than two selected from biogas residue powder, kaolin powder, illite, chlorite, dolomite powder, biogas residue powder, montmorillonite, bentonite powder, diatomite powder and perlite powder, stirring, granulating, roasting for 0.1-3 h at a temperature of 500-1200 DEG C, cooling, breaking, and screening to obtain the high adsorption ceramsite. According to the present invention, the high-adsorption porous biochar ceramsite with stable chemical properties can be obtained bycarrying out mixed sintering on biochar, kaolin and the like; and with the method, the pore structure of ordinary ceramsite is optimized, the ion exchange capacity is improved, the adsorption of conventional ceramsite is enhanced, and the obtained product can be efficiently used in the fields of sewage treatment, soil improvement, environmental restoration and the like.
