description Bio-char with rich pore structure was obtained by pyrolysis of enteromorpha clathrate (EC) and subsequent activation process. The effect of pyrolysis methods, KOH concentrations used in activation and heating rate was studied. A new method that combined pyrolysis and activation into one step was proposed. The bio-char obtained via slow pyrolysis at 450°C and 700°C had a certain pore structure. The bio-char obtained via fast pyrolysis had almost no effective pore structure and a large amount of organic matters still exist in the bio-char, while it had the largest specific surface area after activation by KOH at 800°C. Therefore, bio-char that is a kind of by-product in the process of making bio-oil by fast pyrolysis of EC is worthy of further exploration. As the KOH concentration of the impregnated solution increased, the specific surface area first increased and then decreased. The bio-char obtained via impregnation and activation with 3 mol/L KOH had the highest specific surface area (1128.85 m2/g) and pore volume (0.789 cm3/g). If the processes of pyrolysis and activation were combined into one step via mixing KOH and EC, the structure of cell tissue in the EC was reserved. The sample that prepared by mixing 2 g dried EC with 0.1 g KOH powder has the highest specific surface area (724.66 m2/g) and better pore structure. The best heating rate was 5°C/min for impregnation method and 2°C/min for one step method.
