The invention relates to a preparation method of vinyl 
sulfate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding 
ethylene glycol into a reaction kettle A filled with a 
halohydrocarbon solvent, uniformly stirring, dropwise adding 
thionyl chloride to carry out a 
substitution reaction, removing 
hydrogen chloride by reduced-pressure 
distillation, then, washing a reaction solution to be neutral by using a saturated 
sodium bicarbonate solution, standing still, and skimming to obtain a glycol 
sulfite halohydrocarbon solution; adding the glycol 
sulfite halohydrocarbon solution into a reaction kettle B, adding 
monopotassium phosphate or 
sodium tungstate as a catalyst, regulating the pH by using a 
sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution, and adding a 
sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution to carry out an oxidation reaction; at the end of the reaction, skimming to obtain a vinyl 
sulfate halogenated 
alkane solution, carrying out concentration, then, adding n-
hexane to carry out recrystallization, and carrying out 
filtration to obtain high-purity vinyl 
sulfate. By using the preparation method, raw materials are available, the price of the catalyst is low, the product is easy to purify, and the obtained product is low in acidity, low in 
water content, high in purity and suitable for large-scale production.
