Definitions
- This invention relates to a processing chemical for silver halide color photographic light sensitive materials and the processing method thereof, particularly, to a solid chemical for bleaching silver halide color photographic light sensitive materials, which is excellent in both solubility and bleaching characteristics, and to a method for processing silver halide color photographic light sensitive materials, which is suitable for protecting global environment and keeping labor safety and hygiene.
- the processing steps for silver halide color photographic light sensitive materials are basically comprised of a color developing step and a desilvering step.
- the desilvering step is comprised of a bleaching step and a fixing step or a bleach-fixing step.
- a rising step, a stabilizing step and so forth may be added as the additional processing steps.
- Silver halides exposed to light are reduced to be silver in a color developing step and, at the same time, an aromatic primary amine developing agent duly oxidized form a dye upon reacting with a coupler.
- the reduced silver is oxidized in the color developing step and is then dissolved out in the form of silver ions into a processing solution.
- the method of regenerating an overflow has such a defect that a space for a stock tank or the like is needed and photofinishers have to carry out complicated operations.
- this method is difficult to introduce into small-scaled photofinishers such as on-site photofinishers (so-called mini-labs) who are increasing in recent years.
- the method of replenishing a small amount of a concentrated-solution is satisfactorily suitable to the small-sized photofinishers such as mini-labs, because the space can be saved and any extra apparatus cannot be needed.
- this method also has some defects.
- JP OPI Publication discloses a technique for granulating a bleacher.
- this technique has such a defect that there is a high possibility to deteriorate the solubility of the granulated bleacher when aging it in storage or there is an apprehension that workers' health may be affected by flying up the fine powder of the granulated bleacher when dissolving it.
- JP OPI Publication No. 51-61837/1976 proposes a tablet-shaped processing chemical.
- the tablet-shaped chemicals have such an inherent defect that the solubility thereof is inferior to those of granulated chemicals.
- this patent discloses a technique for containing an expansion-cracking aqueous colloid in a tablet-shaped chemical, for the purpose of enhancing the solubility of a tablet to water.
- the macromolecular polymerized colloid was proved that the bleaching characteristics are deteriorated in the current rapid-processing conditions. It has, therefore, been difficult that any conventional techniques have been difficult to realize any solid chemicals excellent in solubility and having rapidly bleaching characteristics.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a solid bleaching chemical excellent in bleaching function.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a processing technique suitable for maintaining global environment.
- a still further object of the invention is to provide a processing technique suitable for labor safety and hygiene.

- zinc sulfite septihydrate of 20 g zinc sulfite septihydrate of 20 g
- ethylenediamine tetraacetate of 150 g were each pulverized and granulated in the same manner as in Procedure (A). After they were granulated by spraying 10.0 ml of water over them, they were dried at 65°C for 5 minutes. Then, the resulting dried granules were dried again in the vacuum conditions at 40°C for 8 hours, so that the moisture therein could be almost completely removed.
- the granules prepared each in the above-described Procedures (H) and (I) were uniformly mixed up for 10 minutes by making use of a mixer in a room so controlled as to be 25°C and 40%RH or lower.
- the resulting mixture was compression-tableted so that the filling amount per tablet could be 0.66 g by a tablet machine, a modified Tough Pressed Collect 1527HU manufactured by Kikusui Mfg. Works, Inc. Thereby 1000 pieces of the tableted replenishing chemicals for color paper were prepared.
- a Konica Color Paper Type QA Processor CL-PP-718 was so modified as to be equipped with a tableted chemical supplying function, a liquid level detecting function and a warm water supplying function. And, the following processing experiments were tried with the above-modified processor.
- the standard processing conditions for the automatic processor will be given in the table below. Processing step Processing temperature Processing time Color developing 35 ⁇ 0.3°C 45sec. Bleaching 35 ⁇ 1.0°C 20sec. Fixing 33 ⁇ 1.0°C 30sec. Stabilizing - 1 33 ⁇ 3.0°C 30sec. Stabilizing - 2 33 ⁇ 3.0°C 30sec. Drying 72 ⁇ 5.0°C 40sec.
- Warmed water kept at 35°C of 18 liters was put in the color developing tank of an automatic processor and 314 pieces of tableted replenishing chemicals for color developing color paper were then put therein and dissolved.
- Color paper prepared in the procedures described in the example given in JP Application No. 3-47516/1991 was exposed wedgewise to light in an ordinary method and was then running-processed in the foregoing processing steps. However, the running processes were carried out continuously until the amount replenished was added as twice as much as the capacity of the bleaching tank (2R).
