The invention relates to a method for preparing a vinyl acetate fixed bed catalyst carrier by an ethylene process. The method mainly solves the problem of low selectivity of a catalyst produced by a carrier prepared in the prior art. The method comprises the following steps of: a) bonding and molding coarse pore silica gel powder by using liquid containing alkali metal carboxylate and silica sol as a bonder; b) gelling; c) drying; d) roasting; e) thermally treating aqueous solution of electrolyte; and f) washing and drying. The technical scheme well solves the problem, and can be used in industrial preparation of the fixed bed catalyst carrier.
