The invention relates to a method for preparing nano particles of elemental sulfur, belonging to the technical filed of chemistry and chemical industry. In the invention, a micro-emulsion method is utilized to prepare nano-sulfur particles and comprises the following steps: (1) evenly mixing surfactant, cosurfactant and oil phase, adding water solution of sulfur precursor to form micro-emulsion A, wherein the sulfur precursor is a compound capable of performing dismutation under acidic condition to generate the elemental sulfur; (2) evenly the mixing surfactant, the cosurfactant and the oil phase, then adding aqueous acid to form micro-emulsion B; and (3) mixing the micro-emulsion A obtained in step (1) and micro-emulsion B obtained in step (2), after the reaction ends, ageing, breaking emulsion, separating, washing and drying to obtain the nano-sulfur particles. The obtained product is orthorhombic system elemental sulfur, contains no impurity phase, and has evenly particle diameter distribution; and the particle diameter ranges from 10 to 400nm.
