Description

Recyclable color bleaching and fixing liquid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of post-processing of photosensitive materials, in particular to a recyclable color bleaching solution.
Background
Color photographic systems produce color images by exposing photosensitive materials containing silver chloride couplers to light and developing the color. The color developer converts the exposed silver chloride to metallic silver. The oxidation product of the silver halide and the silver halide respectively generates dyes with yellow, magenta and cyan couplers and releases metallic silver and chloride ions.
Metallic silver impairs the hue of the dye image and must be removed. The conversion of metallic silver to silver ions is the reverse reaction of the development process. The reverse reaction is carried out by bleaching agent in bleaching solution, which is polycarboxyl iron compound, ferric ethylenediamine tetracetate, which is an oxidant for metallic silver, and which oxidizes metallic silver into silver chloride. The ferric salt of the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is reduced to ferrous salt of the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.
Figure BDA0001521852950000011
Immediately after completion of the bleaching process, the ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetate ferrous iron is reduced to ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetate by combining with oxygen in the air:
Figure BDA0001521852950000012
thereby reciprocating and circulating.
Unexposed silver chloride still remains after color development of the color paper. These silver chlorides need to be dissolved and removed, and this process is a fixing process. The present technique employs a fast fixer thiosulfate. Fixing reaction process:
Figure BDA0001521852950000013
Figure BDA0001521852950000014
Figure BDA0001521852950000021
a certain amount of thiosulfate is consumed in the fixing process, and a certain amount of thiosulfate must be added to maintain the balance in order for the amount of thiosulfate to be constant.
In the process of processing color photographic paper, a large amount of developing solution is continuously brought into the bleaching and fixing solution by a wet film, and acid in the bleaching and fixing solution is continuously consumed in the process of washing because the developing solution is alkaline solution. In order to maintain the acidity of the bleach liquor, a certain amount of acid must be added to maintain the equilibrium at a constant pH.
Figure BDA0001521852950000024
Figure BDA0001521852950000025
Chloride ion is a development inhibitor, and a chloride salt such as sodium chloride is usually added to the developer to generate chloride ion, which functions to inhibit the formation of development fog. Chlorine ions generated in the developing process are used for replacing artificially added chlorine salt, so that the number of the chlorine ions reaches an equilibrium state. And (2) developing the color photographic paper after exposure, wherein the photographic paper enters a color developing solution, silver ions generated by exposure of silver chloride contained in an emulsion layer on the paper react with a main component developer in the developing solution, and the developer is converted into semi-quinone imine ions:
Figure BDA0001521852950000022
under the alkaline condition of the developer, the semiquinone imine ion loses one hydrogen atom and becomes a semiquinone free radical:
Figure BDA0001521852950000023
then, still under the alkaline condition of the developer, the semiquinone free radical reacts with another silver ion to be converted into quinone diimine:
Figure BDA0001521852950000031
quinone diimines can interconvert structures with semi-quinone diimines:
Figure BDA0001521852950000032
the colour former in the coating of colour photographic paper also dissociates under the alkaline conditioning of the developer to produce negative ions:
Figure BDA0001521852950000033
the negative ions of the color coupler react with the semi-quinone diimine with positive electricity to generate the dye leuco:
Figure BDA0001521852950000034
and the leuco dye reacts with another tautomeric quinonediimine of the semi-quinonediimine to finally produce the dye:
Figure BDA0001521852950000035
the dye thus produced is the substrate constituting the color image.
The color photographic paper is developed through three processes of developing, bleaching and water washing to obtain the exposed color photographic paper. The large and small color photo developing machines widely used in the market all adopt continuous developing processing, namely the process of continuously supplementing new liquid and abandoning waste liquid (as shown in figure 1), but other components in the old liquid can not be recycled, and the discharge of bleaching waste liquid can cause environmental pollution, so that aiming at the current situation, the development of the recyclable color bleaching and fixing liquid is urgently needed to overcome the defects in the current practical application.
