The invention belongs to the technical field of 
environmental engineering materials and particularly relates to a structured iron-carbon micro-
electrolysis filling material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps of treating fine 
iron powder and 
bituminous coal powder as raw materials, treating 
paper mill sludge which is dried and pulverized as a pore-forming agent, treating 
copper powder as a catalyst, adding a binding agent, mixing the ingredients uniformly, conducting compression formation, 
drying the ingredients, obtaining a dry-
bulb filling material, generating 
anode metal iron by conducting direct reduction on the fine 
iron powder in the dry-
bulb filling material through high temperature 
roasting, and obtaining the iron-carbon micro-
electrolysis filling material. The 
granularity of the 
anode metal iron of the iron-carbon micro-
electrolysis filling material is less than 10 micrometers. The structured iron-carbon micro-electrolysis filling material has the advantages that iron and carbon are integrated, the filling material is of a micropore framework type 
alloy structure, the 
porosity is high, the activity is high, the 
current density is large, when the filling material is applied to 
industrial waste water treatment, COD and 
chromaticity of waste water can be effectively lowered, biodegradability of the waste water can be effectively improved, various heavy 
metal ions can be removed, and the filling material is stable in operation and application effect.
