Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

The present invention relates to a method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, and more particularly to a method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material that can significantly reduce the amount of washing water in the washing step after the processing step with fixing ability. - Generally, after exposure, silver halide photographic materials are processed through the steps of development-fixing-water washing or development-bleaching-fixing-water washing or development-bleach-fixing-water washing. Issues such as water resources and water resources are becoming increasingly important. For this reason, methods have been proposed to reduce the amount of flushing water used in large quantities. For example, West German Patent No. 2920222 and SRGoldwasser's technical literature describe a technique for configuring the flushing tank in multiple stages to allow the water to flow backwards.

motion―Picture film”Jour.SMPTE, 64 248
-253, MaY (1955) is known. If the washing water is significantly reduced by configuring the tank in multiple stages in the washing process, the residence time of the washing water will become longer, causing new problems such as limescale and rotting water that will cause bad odors. I understand. In addition, if the water used in the washing process following a bath containing thiosulfate is significantly reduced by configuring the tank in multiple stages, the residence time of the washing water becomes longer and the thiosulfate decomposes. It was found that a new problem arises in that sulfide precipitation occurs. If this precipitate adheres to the photographic material being processed, it will have a serious effect on the photographic processing performance, so the washing tank must be cleaned periodically to remove it. As a method for preventing sulfide precipitation in the water washing step, for example, according to US Pat. No. 4,059,446, there is a technique of adding a polyalkylene oxide type nonionic surfactant to the water washing bath. However, even if these nonionic surfactants are added to the washing water, they do not have the effect of preventing the precipitation of the sulfides, and only have the effect of slightly dispersing the precipitates. This method cannot be put to practical use because bubbles are generated. The biggest drawback of these technologies is that the image after processing is unstable; for example, when color prints are stored for a long period of time, yellow stains may appear on the white background in unexposed areas, or the cyan dye density may decrease. be. In order to solve these drawbacks, a method has been proposed in which the compound represented by the general formula [] of the present invention and the compound represented by the general formula [] are allowed to coexist. With this method, problems such as image storage stability, scale formation, and precipitate formation are improved. However, if processing is carried out every day using an automatic processor, etc., and if the automatic processor, etc. is stopped and left for several days, a significant amount of suspended matter will be generated, and when processing is performed again, these materials may be added to the photographic material. It has been discovered that a new problem arises: the adhesion of suspended matter. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for processing silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials that eliminates floating matter that occurs when left unused after processing, and that makes it possible to significantly reduce the amount of washing water without affecting photographic performance in any way. Our goal is to provide the following. Another object of the present invention is to provide a water washing method which particularly improves the stability of images after processing. According to the present invention, a compound represented by the following general formula [], a compound represented by the general formula [], and a general formula [] are added to the treatment step following the treatment step having fixing ability.

A running test was performed while replenishing water through a metering cup. The amount of replenishment to the color developing tank was 324 ml per 1 m ² of color paper, the amount of replenishment to the bleach-fixing tank was 25 ml each of bleach-fixing replenishers A and B, and the amount of replenishing to the washing tank was 253 ml. The washing tank is divided into 9 tanks (referred to as 1st, 2nd, . . . 9th washing tank in the order of flow of the photosensitive material). The 9th tank is replenished with washing bath replenisher, and the overflow from the tank is transferred to the 8th tank. The overflow liquid from the 8th tank was put into the 7th tank, and the counter current method was used until the 1st tank was reached, and the processing time for each tank was 20 seconds. In addition, temperature controls, filter flow meters, and circulation pumps (MD-40 manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.) were installed in all tanks. In addition, a blade squeeze was installed at the outlet of each tank to reduce the amount of processing solution carried out by the paper. The running treatment was carried out in small amounts at a time until the replenishment amount of the washing bath became equal to the amount in the tank after one month, and then the running treatment was immediately stopped and the state of generation of floating matter was observed. The results are shown in Table 2.
