Definitions

  • the invention relates to a solid developing tablet for a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material.
  • the invention refers also to the use of the tablet for developing a silver halide photographic material.
  • EPC discloses a solid developing tablet obtained by compression-molding a solid developing composition comprising a color developing agent and an alkali agent both present in a granulated form.
  • the tablet has a moisture content within the range of 0-3 wt%.
  • JP-A-5 142 707 discloses a solid photographic processing agent having a moisture content of not more than 3 wt% and a specific volume of 0.16-2 cm3/g.
  • a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is usually processed using a black-and-white developer, a fixer, a color developer, a bleach, a bleach-fixer and a stabilizer to obtain an imagewise image.
  • the components of the processing solutions used herein are packaged in plastic bottles for easy use and are in the form of concentrated solutions and are supplied as a processing solution kit to consumers. The consumers dilute the component solutions of the kit with water to prepare the processing solutions and use them as solutions for use (as starter solutions or replenisher solutions).
  • mini-labs which process a photographic material using a small automatic processor
  • the processing kit in concentrated solution form still requires much storage space. Further, the cost for transport is not low.
  • the discarded plastic bottles increase year by year and should be recovered, however the recovering is difficult and therefore, development of a processing system in which waste plastics are reduced is demanded.
  • Powder photographic processing agents are considered in order to reduce storage space, transport cost and the amount of the plastic waste.
  • the powder agents produce loose powder when it is dissolved in water, and operators breathe in loose powder particles, resulting in health hazard.
  • other photographic solutions may be contaminated with the components of the loose powder and there occurs the possibility of other trouble in developing process.
  • Patent O.P.I Publication Nos. 2-109042/1990 and 2-109043/1990 disclose a technique of using a granular mixture of photographic processing agents.
  • Patent O.P.I Publication Nos. 5-119454/1993, 5-113646/1993 and 5-107698/1993 disclose a photographic processing system using a solid developing processing agent and a solid developing processing agent used therein.
  • the above Japanese Patent O.P.I Publication No. 2-109042/1990 discloses a color developing agent which is a mixture of a granular anti-oxidant, a granular developing agent and a granular alkali-providing agent.
  • the above Japanese Patent O.P.I Publication No. 2-109043/1990 discloses a color developing agent which is a mixture of a granular anti-oxidant, a granular developing agent and a granular alkali-providing agent, each having an average particle size of 150 ⁇ m or more and 80% of the granule falling within the deviation range of not more than ⁇ 150 ⁇ m. It is disclosed that the above photographic developing agent has unlimited durability and excellent solubility.
  • the photographic developing agent described in the above references has a considerable storage stability, although not unlimited durability, and excellent solubility in laboratory experiments.
  • the agent having excellent storage stability and solubility can be sometimes obtained and sometimes not. Accordingly, there is a problem that the agent having stable properties cannot always be obtained.
  • a first object of the invention is to provide a solid developing composition in the form of a tablet for a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material having a long storage stability.
  • a second object of the invention is to provide a solid developing composition in the form of a tablet for a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material low in oxidation-coloration due to its hygroscopic property and high in commercial value. Another object will be apparent from the following description.
  • the inventors have found the following by conducting experiments on a powder solid developing composition for a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material.
  • the moisture content is more than 15% by weight
  • the contact reaction between the alkali agent and developing agent occurs due to the moisture and the developing agent is oxidized or unstable.
  • the moisture content is less less than 0.1% by weight
  • the difference between atmospheric humidity and humidity in the solid composition humidity gradient
  • atmospheric moisture penetrates the surface of the composition.
  • the developing agent on the surface of the composition is subjected to oxidation, resulting in coloration of the composition and the content reduction of the color developing agent. Further, the strength of the solid composition is weakened.
  • the specific volume of the solid composition exceeds 2.0 cm 3 /g, the space in the composition is large and the composition absorbs more atmospheric moisture. It has been found, however, that the oxidation of the developing agent is promoted and the developing agent content of the composition is reduced. On the contrary, when the specific volume of the solid composition is less than 0.6 cm 3 /g, the coloration of the composition occurs during its storage although there is no problem as to moisture absorption.
  • the inventors have made an extensive study on the above described experimental results and found that they can provide the solid developing tablet as defined above, having excellent storage stability and stable properties without an influence of atmospheric moisture during production, storage and usage.
  • the moisture content of the solid composition of the invention is 0.1 to 15% by weight. However, in view of the effects of the invention, the content is preferably 0.3 to 10% by weight, and most preferably 1 to 8% by weight.
  • the specific volume of the fine particle solid developing composition is 0.6 to 2.0 cm 3 /g. However, in view of the effects of the invention, the specific volume is preferably 0.8 to 1.5 cm 3 /g.

  • an alkali agent and a developing agent are preferable.
  • at least one of them is preferably granules, since the effects of the invention are markedly displayed. It is more preferable that both agents are granules. This is because of another effect in which fine loose powder is reduced during storage as well as the above mentioned effects.
  • any of the well-known methods such as a rolling granulation, an extrusion granulation, a compression granulation, a cracking granulation, a stirring granulation, a fluidized-layer granulation and water spray-drying granulation.
  • the granules of the above described alkali agent and developing agent have an average particle diameter of preferably 150 to 1500 ⁇ m, and more preferably 300 to 1000 ⁇ m.
  • the average particle diameter in the invention refers to an weight average particle diameter.
  • the weight average particle diameter of the invention refers to a particle diameter at 50% by weight in a cumulative residue distribution plot obtained by screening.
  • the above described solid developing composition is compression-molded into tablets.
  • the tablets exhibit the effect of the invention markedly and the effective prevention of powder occurrence due during their storage.
  • the solid processing tablet is produced by well known compressors.
  • the compressors for producing the tablets include a hydraulic press machine, a single tableting machine, a rotary tableting machine and a bricketing machine can be used.
