The invention provides a preparation method of bromized polystyrene. The method is characterized in that sulfur is taken as the scavenging agent of a small amount of water in the electrophilic bromination reaction of the polystyrene and as the quencher of free radical in the electrophilic bromination reaction of the polystyrene, and the mass of the sulfur is 0.1 to 12 percent of that of the polystyrene. In the organic solvent of dichloroethane, chloroform, bromochloromethane, carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloroethane, the anhydrous aluminium trichloride, the anhydrous ferric chloride, the titanium tetrachloride, the antimonous chloride, the aluminum powder, the zinc powder or the iron powder is taken as the catalyst, the sulfur is taken as the scavenging agent of the small amount of waterand as the quencher of the free radical, and the bromized polystyrene is prepared by the electrophilic bromination reaction between the polystyrene and the bromine.
