The amounts of Fe
and Fe
present in glass are important indicators of its optical properties because even small amounts have significant effects. However, it is challenging to use wet chemical analysis to determine the concentration and the ratio of Fe
and Fe
in glass when it contains Sn because of the redox reaction between Sn
and Fe
in the glass decomposition solution. A two-step approach was tested to determine the concentrations of Fe
and Fe
in a glass decomposition solution in the presence of Sn
. In the first step, the redox reaction between Sn
and Fe
was suppressed by increased pH. In the second step, Sn
was removed from the glass decomposition solution by solvent extraction. To understand the kinetics of the redox reaction between Sn
and Fe
, time-resolved dispersive X-ray absorption fine structure and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis) were used with standard chloride solutions of Sn and Fe in respective valences. We found that lowering the acid concentration suppressed redox reactions. The partitioning behaviors of Sn
, Sn
, Fe
, and Fe
by bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate (D2EHPA) as an extractant in
-dodecane were investigated to see the removal ability of Sn
from the glass decomposition solution. As a result, D2EHPA in
-dodecane could extract Sn
, Sn
, and Fe
into the organic phase, and Fe
remained in the aqueous phase. The simultaneous removal of Sn
and Sn
and the separation of Fe
and Fe
became possible. This method can potentially apply to the rapid analysis of the concentration of Fe
and Fe
in a glass containing tin oxide.
