The invention discloses nitrogen-rich biomass-based activated carbon with a hierarchical pore microchannel structure and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of porous carbon materials. In order to solve the problems of low nitrogen doping amount, microchannel structure damage and the like in the existing nitrogen-doped activated carbon, the invention provides nitrogen-rich biomass-based activated carbon with the hierarchical pore microchannel structure, and the preparation method of the nitrogen-rich biomass-based activated carbon with the hierarchical pore microchannel structure comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing biomass, melamine cyanurate or a mixed nitrogen source thereof and an activating agent in water, drying, grinding and sieving, and heating to 650-950 DEG C in an inert atmosphere, calcining, washing and drying to obtain the product. The nitrogen-rich biomass-based activated carbon with the hierarchical pore microchannel structure has the characteristics of high specific surface area, high total pore volume, hierarchical pore structure, high nitrogen content, high surface nitrogen content, low activator dosage, low micropore rate and the like, and has excellent desulfurization and decarbonization performance.
