The present invention provides a production method of polyvinyl chloride by suspension polymerization and a feeding apparatus. This method comprises: Step 1: injecting a vinyl chloride monomer and water at 25-98° C. into a reaction vessel to obtain a water suspension, closing the reaction kettle, repeatedly and cyclically performing vacuum-pumping and cleansing with nitrogen, stirring and evacuating oxygen in the reaction kettle; Step 2: adding a first suspension agent and a second suspension agent into the reaction kettle, and then adding a nanopowder and an initiator composite, to carry out the polymerization reaction; Step 3: adding cold water to terminate the polymerization reaction upon the pressure in the reaction kettle is reduced to 3.5 bar or less; Step 4: evacuating and vacuumizing the reaction kettle, and then filtering, washing and drying the resulted polymer, to obtain polyvinyl chloride. The present invention also provides a feeding apparatus used for the above production method. Polyvinyl chloride produced by the method of this invention has good performance and can meet the requirements of physical and chemical properties and applicability for most applications.
