Developing algae cultivation for food, chemicals, and bio-energy generates a significant amount of algal waste/residue after utilization. Meanwhile, harmful blooms caused by abnormal proliferation various produce large biomass, posing serious harm to human health, the environment economy. Converting body biochar is crucial method with which take advantage this resource. Biochar usually has specific surface area, developed pore structure, high cation exchange capacity rich functional groups. With stable physical/chemical properties easy modification techniques, posited as an ideal adsorption material. From perspective biomass utilization, paper reviews preparation methods, structural characteristics, physicochemical environmental implications biochar. The effect mechanisms on nutrients, heavy metals, organic matter in water are introduced. In light current research status, challenges faced practical application algae-derived materials pointed out, direction also developed, view providing reference further utilization
