Is a ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid complex salt. However, ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid complex salt is biodegradable (Biode
Gradeability is poor, and if it is discharged into rivers and soil, it will accumulate without being decomposed or will drift for a long time, which is not preferable from the standpoint of global environmental protection. Further, bleaching agents which have recently started to be used include, for example, JP-A-2-103041, JP-A-2-103040.

That is, when bleaching is performed immediately after color development, bleaching fog is generated. To solve this problem, a technique of lowering the pH using acetic acid or the like can be considered, but in such a case, odor is a problem. turn into.

Another problem of PDTA / Fe is that PD
