The invention discloses a preparation method for 
carbon tetrachloride in the field of preparation of 
carbon tetrachloride. The preparation method comprises the following steps: step 1, metering 
carbon disulfide and a 
chlorine liquid, carrying out mixing, then adding the obtained mixture into a coiled reactor and carrying out a reaction, introducing reaction steam into a fractionating 
tower, and carrying out first 
fractionation; step 2, during 
fractionation of the reaction steam, collecting a first fractionated 
liquid carbon tetrachloride located at the top of the 
tower, and carrying out 
drying so as to prepare an industrial product; step 3, subjecting the 
tower liquid in the fractionating tower to full 
reflux, adding excessive 
carbon disulfide, allowing 
disulfur dichloride to chlorinate 
carbon disulfide; step 4, cooling the chlorinated liquid in the tower to 20 DEG C, carrying out 
crystallization so as to precipitate 
sulfur, and recycling the precipitated 
sulfur; step 5, adding a tower parent liquid into a 
chlorine introduction column, and introducing the 
chlorine liquid into the chlorine introduction column, and chlorinating excessive carbon disulfide so as to obtain a column chlorinated liquid; step 6, pressing the column chlorinated liquid into the fractionating tower, carrying out 
fractionation, evaporating a secondary fractionated liquid, and allowing the evaporated secondary fractionated liquid to enter a decomposing tank; and step 7, adding slaked 
lime into the decomposing tank, decomposing the 
disulfur dichloride in the secondary fractionated liquid, and subjecting the decomposed 
decomposition liquid to 
drying and rectification so as to obtain high-purity 
carbon tetrachloride. With a scheme provided by the invention, the purity of the carbon 
tetrachloride is improved; meanwhile, the recycling of by-products is realized.
