A method for detecting iodine content in phosphate ore relates to a detecting method, in particular to a method for detecting the iodine content in deposition phosphorite ore. The method includes the steps: a. placing 0.5-1.0g of a phosphate ore sample into a porcelain crucible, adding mixed fusing agent, mixing evenly, and covering a layer of mixed fusing agent; b. placing the porcelain crucible in a high temperature furnace, rising temperature to 700 to 800 DEG C, taking out, cooling, crushing clinker, pouring the clinker into a centrifugal tube, washing the crucible with hot water, diluting to 50mL, mixing evenly; c. rotating the centrifugal tube through a multi-pipe frame automatic balancing centrifugal machine to separate liquid and solid; d. sucking 5-10mL of supernatant liquor in the centrifugal tube, keeping pH in a range of 2.0-2.5, adding an oxidation agent, enabling potassium iodide to react with starch to generate blue compound, measuring absorbance at a corresponding wavelength position by a spectrophotometer, and calculating the iodine content by working curve method. The method is simple, fast, low in cost and good in reproducibility.
