The invention discloses a method for measuring the content of tungsten and molybdenum in ore. After being weighed, a sample is soaked in mixed acid of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and perchloric acid, heated and dissolved at 200-230 DEG C, then disgested, and finally dried by distillation into a wet salt shape; finally, a complex is generated from tungsten through an oxalic acid and hydrochloric acid mixed solution. After capacity is fixed, an inductively coupled plasma-atomatic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) is used for measuring the content of tungsten and molybdenum. By means of the method, the content of the two elements can be measured at the same time, and the problem that at present, the two elements can not be accurately measured at the same time is solved. In addition, by means of the method, high-temperature and strong-alkali operation is avoided, experiment procedures are simplified, experiment cost is reduced, test speed of the sample is increased, and work efficiency is effectively improved.
