The invention discloses a method for rapidly determining the content of total iron in nitrided ferrovanadium. The method comprises the steps of: 1, decomposing a nitrided ferrovanadium sample by an alkali fusion method to obtain an alkali fusion sample; 2, leaching the alkali fusion sample by 
hydrochloric acid, adding 
sodium hydroxide to a leaching solution for 
precipitation, and filtering and separating the solution to obtain a 
ferric hydroxide precipitate; 3, acidifying the 
ferric hydroxide participate by 
hydrochloric acid, heating the acidified precipitate to a 
boiling point, dropwise adding stannous 
chloride to the heated precipitate to reduce 
ferric iron into 
ferrous until the stannous 
chloride is excessive; and 4, oxidizing the excessive stannous 
chloride by mercuric chloride, titrating the oxidized stannous chloride by a 
potassium dichromate 
standard solution with 
sodium diphenylaminesulfonate being an indicator, thus calculating the content of the total iron of the nitrided ferrovanadium sample. The method is capable of separating 
vanadium and ferrum and eliminating interference of high 
vanadium to determination of the total iron, thereby ensuring the accuracy of a determination result. The method is used for directly determining the content of the total iron in the nitrided ferrovanadium, the detection time is shortened from original 10h to 1h, and the detection speed is greatly enhanced. The method has the characteristics of being direct, simple, convenient and feasible.
