Wet-chemical and /sup 57/Fe Mossbauer analyses of ferrous/ferric ratios in complex borosilicate and simple silicate glasses were compared. The results support the validity of the colorimetric wet-chemical procedure and establish a linear calibration for the Mossbauer data. The resulting correlation indicates that using area ratios from Mossbauer spectra will overestimate the proportion of ferrous iron by a factor of 1.2. The linear calibration was achieved only after statistically optimizing the peak line shape for each Mossbauer spectrum. Samples with a greater proportion of ferrous iron tended to have a greater Gaussian contribution to the peak line shape. A procedure to determine ferrous/ferric ratios from measured intensity data at three velocity locations was developed. With instrument modification, this result will lead to a substantial reduction in data collection time and the elimination of complex spectral fitting.
