The invention relates to a method for measuring 
phosphorus content in 
chromite. According to the method, a 
chromite sample is decomposed by high-temperature alkali fusion of 
sodium peroxide, the melt is extracted by hot water, 
phosphorus co-precipitates with elements such as iron, 
magnesium, 
manganese and the like, 
chromium enters the solution in a form of CrO4<2->, 
sodium hydroxide solution is used for washing so as to remove the 
chromium. The precipitate is subjected to acidolysis by 
hydrochloric acid and the precipitate subjected to acidolysis is then transferred into a 
volumetric flask. The 
test solution is separated, the pH value of the solution is adjusted by taking paranitrophenol as an indicator, 
phosphorus-
molybdenum heteropoly acid is reduced to be phosphomolybdenum blue by taking 
ascorbic acid as a 
reducing agent in 
hydrochloric acid medium, and the light absorption value of the 
test solution is measured at the position of 680nm of a spectrophotometer. According to the technical scheme of the method, the design is reasonable, the 
relative standard deviation is less than 12%, and the 
recovery rate of 
standard addition reaches up to 96-99%; compared with the standard sample reference value, the method has the advantages that the 
analysis data is basically identical, the results are stable and accurate, simplicity and convenience are realized, and the 
operability is high.
