The invention discloses a porous carbon material and its preparation method. The preparation method provided by the invention successively comprises steps of: raw material and auxiliary material selection, pulverization, spheroidization, grading, burdening, mixing, molding, roasting and the like. Green petroleum coke and green pitch coke are creatively used as raw materials. A filtration materialprepared after spheroidization of a green coke powder has large contractility, high strength, uniform pore distribution, smooth pore path, high filtration precision and good transmissivity, is not easy to block during the purification process, is easy to regenerate, and has long service life. The porous carbon material prepared in the invention can be widely used as a filtration material, a thermal insulation material, a conductance electrode and the like.
