The present invention belongs to the technical field of soil heavy metal remediation, specifically discloses a method for preparing the iron-based biochar material, the iron-based biochar material prepared there from and a method for controlling the heavy metal pollution in soil using the iron-based biochar material. For the iron-based biochar material of the present invention, by using a method of high-temperature carbonization, a biomass is used as a raw material and an iron-containing compound is add in the process of preparing biochar, wherein iron is incorporated in a specific ratio, to form the iron-based biochar material with a special structure and function. The material has a simple preparation process, low cost and a short production period; the prepared iron-based biochar material has an unique effect on the arsenic-cadmium combined pollution soil remediation, can effectively reduce the bioavailability of arsenic and cadmium in the soil, significantly reduces the arsenic and cadmium contents in the agricultural products planted in the arsenic-cadmium combined pollution soil, and has no toxic and side effects on the crops, is safe to apply and can be applied to the control of arsenic-cadmium combined pollution soil in a large scale.
