Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a processing composition for silver halide color photographic abrasives, more specifically, a novel bleaching agent used in the bleaching step after color development. The present invention relates to a processing composition containing the same and a method for processing silver halide color photographic sensitized +A rice grains using the same.

(Prior Art) Silver halide color photographic materials (hereinafter referred to as color photographic materials) are basically processed through a color development step and a desilvering step after exposure for scratches.

In the color development step, the exposed silver halide grains are arrested by a color developing agent to become silver, and the oxidized product of the color developing agent generated reacts with a coupler to form an image dye.

In the subsequent desilvering process, the developed silver produced in the development process is oxidized to silver salts (bleaching) using an oxidizing bleach, and then, together with unused silver halide, is sensitized by a fixing agent that forms soluble silver. removed from the layer (fixed). Bleaching and fixing may be carried out as separate bleaching and fixing processes, or may be carried out simultaneously as a bleach-fixing process. Details of these processing steps can be found in James' The Theory of Photography.
James, “The Process” 4th Edition (James, “The Theor.”
y ofI'hotpgraphic Process
” 4'Lh edition) (1977).

In addition to the basic processing steps mentioned above, various auxiliary steps are added for the purpose of maintaining the photographic and physical quality of the dye image or the stability of the processing. Examples include a water washing process, a stabilization process, a hardening process, and a stopping process.

The processing steps mentioned above are generally carried out using an IJI developing machine. Particularly in recent years, small automatic processing machines called minilabs have been installed in stores, and rapid processing services have become widespread for customers.

Against this background, there has been a strong demand in recent years for speeding up the treatment process, and it is also desired that the bleaching process be greatly speeded up.

Furthermore, as processing has come to be carried out in various locations, the problem of processing waste liquid has become more serious.

However, the conventionally used ferric complex salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid has weak oxidizing power and wood-like defects, and the use of bleaching accelerators (for example, US Pat. No. 113
Despite improvements such as the addition of mercapto compounds described in US Pat. No. 8,842), the goal of rapid bleaching has not yet been achieved. Furthermore, when such bleach accelerators are used, the bleaching ability deteriorates over time due to deterioration of the bleach accelerator, making it impossible to reduce the amount of replenishment, and as a result, the goal of significantly reducing the amount of waste liquid cannot be achieved. There wasn't.

Bleaching agents to achieve rapid bleaching include red blood salt, iron chloride,
Although bromate etc. are known, in red blood salt,
Due to environmental conservation issues, chloride υζ is inconvenient due to metal corrosion, etc., and bromate is
Due to the instability of the liquid, it cannot be widely used.

Therefore, there is a need for a bleaching agent that is easy to handle and achieves rapid bleaching without problems with waste liquid discharge. Disclosed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, this bleach has several problems. One of them is the ability to prevent bleaching blade burrs due to bleaching.
This is a problem. Adding a buffering agent to the bleaching solution has been disclosed as a method for reducing the blurring of bleaching blades (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 213657), but the level of improvement is not fully satisfactory, especially in color development. In rapid processing in which the process is carried out in 3 minutes or less, a highly active developer is used, which still causes large bleaching blade bleed.

Another problem is that staining increases during storage after processing when a bleaching solution made of ferric 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid complex salt is used.

In addition, in order to perform the desilvering process simply and quickly, it is desirable to carry out the bleaching process and the fixing process at the same time. The stability of the liquid is extremely poor and it cannot be put to practical use.

For these reasons, there has been a desire for a new treatment composition and treatment method that can replace this and have a novel bleaching ability.

Therefore, the first object of the present invention is to provide a treatment composition that is easy to handle and does not cause environmental problems regarding waste liquid, and a treatment method using the same.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a processing composition having bleaching ability with excellent desilvering properties and a processing method using the same.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a processing composition having a bleaching ability with less bleaching blade blur and a processing method using the same.

A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a treatment composition having bleaching ability with less staining over time and a treatment method using the same.

A fifth object of the present invention is to provide a processing composition having bleaching ability with excellent stability over time and a processing method using the same.

It is best to use 4 or less. Also, below pl+2.0,
The metal beam 1 according to the present invention becomes unstable, and therefore p
H2.0-64 is preferred.

For this purpose, any pHJl buffer can be used as long as it is not susceptible to oxidation by bleaching agents and has a buffering effect within the PU range. For example, organic acids such as acetic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, malic acid, chloroacetic acid, levulinic acid, urei I/propionic acid, pyridine, dimethylviradur,

Among them, ammonia water is preferred.

During the treatment, it is preferable to aerate the treatment liquid having bleaching ability to oxidize the iron(n) complex salt produced. This regenerates the bleaching agent and keeps photographic performance extremely stable.

The bleaching or bleach-fixing step can be carried out at a temperature ranging from 30°C to 60°C, preferably from 35°C to 50°C.

The time for the bleaching and/or bleach-fixing process is generally 10 seconds to 7 minutes, preferably 10 seconds to 2 minutes. In the case of printed photosensitive materials, the time is 5 seconds to 70 seconds, preferably 5 seconds to 60 seconds, and more preferably 10 seconds to 45 seconds. Under these preferred processing conditions, good results were obtained that were rapid and without increased staining.

Among these, thiosulfates, particularly ammonium thiosulfates, are preferred for rapid fixing. Furthermore, even more rapid fixing can be achieved by using two or more types of fixing agents together. For example, in addition to ammonium thiosulfate, it is also preferable to use the above-mentioned ammonium thiocyanate, imidazole, 1,000 urea, thioether, etc. In this case, the second fixing agent is in a range of 0.01 to 100 mol% based on ammonium thiosulfate. It is preferable to add it at

Add a preservative to the fixer and/or bleach-fixer,
It is also possible to improve the stability of the liquid over time.

In the case of fixers or bleach-fixers containing thiosulfates, sulfites and/or bisulfite adducts of hydroxylamine, hydrazine, aldehydes (
For example, a bisulfite adduct of acetaldehyde, particularly preferably a bisulfite adduct of an aromatic aldehyde described in JP-A-1-298935, is effective. It is also preferable to use the sulfinic acid compound described in JP-A-62443048.

In addition, the fixer and/or bleach-fixer has a pl+

For example, phosphates or imidazoles such as imidazole, 1-methyl-imidazole, 2-methyl-imidazole, 1-ethyl-imidazole, l-liechnolamine, N-allylmorporin, N-henseylbiperazine. etc. can be mentioned. Furthermore, by adding various chelating agents to the fixing solution, it is possible to hide iron ions brought in from the bleaching solution and improve the stability of the solution. Such preferred chelating agents include 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, ethylenediamine-N,N,N', N'-tetramethylenephosphonic acid,
Examples include nitrilotrimethylenebosphonic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, 1,2-furopanediaminetetraacetic acid, and the like.

The present invention can also be applied to desilvering treatment using a stop bath, water washing bath, etc. after color development treatment.

In the desilvering treatment steps such as bleaching, bleach-fixing, and fixing of the present invention, it is preferable that stirring be as strong as possible in order to more effectively exhibit the effects of the present invention.

A specific method for strengthening stirring is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-18346.
No. 0, No. 62-183461, the method of impinging a jet of processing liquid on the emulsion surface of a photosensitive material, and the method of colliding a jet of a processing liquid on the emulsion surface of a photosensitive material, as described in JP-A No. 62-183-1.
No. 83461, a method of increasing the stirring effect using a rotating means, and further improving the stirring effect by moving the photosensitive material while bringing the emulsion surface into contact with a wiper blade provided in the liquid to create turbulence on the emulsion surface. There are 49 methods for increasing the circulation flow rate of the entire treatment liquid. Such means for improving agitation is effective for all bleaching solutions, bleach-fixing solutions, and fixing solutions. It is believed that improved stirring speeds up the supply of bleach and fixing agent into the emulsion film, thereby increasing the desilvering rate.

In addition, the above two stirring directions are more effective when a bleach accelerator is used, and can significantly increase the bleach accelerating effect and eliminate the fixing inhibiting effect of the bleach accelerator.

The above-mentioned strong stirring is preferably used for color developing solutions, water washing, stabilizing solutions, and the like.

The processing method of the present invention is preferably carried out using an automatic processor. Regarding the conveyance method in such an automatic developing machine, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open Nos. 60-191257 and 60-19125
No. 8, No. 60-191259. Furthermore, in order to perform rapid processing, it is preferable to shorten the crossover between processing tanks in an automatic developing machine.

An automatic processor with a crossover time of 5 seconds or less is described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-319038.

When continuous processing is performed using an automatic processor according to the processing method of the present invention, the consumption of processing solution components accompanying the processing of photosensitive materials is compensated for, and undesirable components eluted from the photosensitive materials are added to the processing solution. In order to suppress accumulation, it is preferable to add a replenisher depending on the amount of processed photosensitive material. Further, two or more processing baths may be provided for each processing step, in which case it is preferable to use a countercurrent method in which the replenisher is poured from the rear bath to the front bath. In particular, a cascade of 2 to 4 stages is appropriate for the water washing process and the stabilization process.

The amount of replenisher is preferably reduced as long as changes in the composition of each processing solution do not affect photographic performance or cause problems such as staining of the processing solution.

The amount of color developing replenisher is 100 ml to 3000 ml per photosensitive material 1r+ (for color photographic materials).

The amount of washing water or stabilizing solution to be replenished is 1 to 50 times, preferably 2 to 30 times, more preferably 2 to 15 times the amount brought in from the bath per unit area.

In order to further reduce the amount of the replenisher for environmental conservation, it is also preferable to use various regeneration methods in combination.

Regeneration can be carried out by circulating the processing solution in an automatic developing machine, or by once removing it from the processing tank, performing appropriate regeneration processing, and then returning it to the processing tank as a replenisher. Also good.

Accumulation of this reduced metal chelate-1 not only reduces bleaching performance, but also causes a reduction in image density as the image dye turns into a leuco dye in some cases. For this reason, it is preferable to use a method of continuously regenerating the bleaching solution and/or bleach-fixing solution in conjunction with the processing. Specifically, air
It is preferable to blow air into the bleaching solution and/or the bleach-fixing solution using a pump to re-oxidize the reduced metal chelate-1- with oxygen, so-called aeration. In addition, it can also be regenerated by adding an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide, persulfate, or bromate.

The fixer and bleach-fixer are regenerated by electrolytically reducing accumulated silver ions. In addition, it is also preferable to remove accumulated halogen ions using an anion exchange resin in order to maintain fixing performance.

In order to reduce the amount of washing water used, ion exchange or ultrafiltration is used, and ultrafiltration is particularly preferably used.

However, depending on the purpose, the order of installation may be reversed, or the order of installation may be such that different color-sensitive layers are sandwiched between the same color-sensitive layers.

A non-photosensitive layer, such as an intermediate layer between each layer, may be provided between the silver halide photosensitive layers, the final layer, and the bottom layer.

The intermediate layer includes JP-A Nos. 61-43748 and 59-1.
No. 13438, No. 59-11.3440, No. 61-2
It may contain couplers, DTP compounds, etc. as described in No. 0037 and No. 61-20038, and it may also contain color mixing inhibitors, ultraviolet absorbers, anti-stinting agents, etc. as commonly used. Good too.

The plurality of silver halide emulsion layers constituting each unit photosensitive layer are disclosed in West German Patent No. 121.470 or British Patent No. 92
As described in No. 3.045, a two-layer structure consisting of a high-sensitivity emulsion layer and a low-sensitivity emulsion layer can be preferably used. Usually, it is preferable to arrange the layers so that the photosensitivity decreases toward the support, and a non-photosensitive layer may be provided between each halogen emulsion layer. Also, JP-A-57-1
No. 12751, No. 62-200350, No. 62-20
65. As described in No. I1, No. 62-206543, etc., a low-sensitivity emulsion layer may be provided on the side remote from the support, and a high-sensitivity emulsion layer may be provided on the side close to the support.

As a specific example, from the side farthest from the support, low sensitivity blue sensitive layer (BL) / high sensitivity blue sensitive layer (BH) / high sensitivity green sensitive layer (GH) / low sensitivity green sensitive layer (GL) /High-sensitivity red-sensitive layer (RH) /Low-sensitivity red-sensitive layer (RL), or B H / B L / CI- / G H / R) I /
R block 2 order or BH/BL/GH/G L/RL
/RI().

Further, as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-34932, from the side farthest from the support, the blue-sensitive layer/GH/R
They can also be arranged in the order of H/GL/RL. Furthermore, as described in JP-A-56-257313 and JP-A-62-63936, the blue-sensitive layer/GL/RL/GH/RH may be arranged in this order from the farthest side from the support. You can also do it.

In addition, as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-15495, the upper layer is a silver halide emulsion layer with the highest sensitivity, the middle layer is a silver halide emulsion layer with lower sensitivity, and the lower layer is a silver halide emulsion layer with higher sensitivity than the middle layer. An example is an arrangement consisting of three layers having different photosensitivity, in which a silver halide emulsion layer with low photosensitivity is disposed, and the photosensitivity gradually decreases toward the support. Even in the case where the difference in photosensitivity is 73-, which is composed of 3N, JP-A-59-202
As described in No. 464, medium-sensitivity emulsion layer/high-sensitivity emulsion layer/low-sensitivity emulsion layer may be arranged in the order from the side remote from the support in the same color-sensitive layer.

As mentioned above, various layer structures and arrangements can be selected depending on the purpose of each photosensitive material.

Any of these plane arrangements can be used in the color photosensitive material of the present invention, but in the present invention, the dry film thickness of the support of the color photosensitive material and all constituent layers of the support except for the undercoat layer and the hack layer is In the case of color photosensitive materials, 2
In order to achieve the object of the present invention, it is preferably 0.0μ or less, more preferably 18.0μ or less, and in the case of print materials, it is 16.0μ or less, more preferably 13.0μ or less. .

These film thickness regulations are determined by the color developing agent that is incorporated into these layers of the color photosensitive material during and after processing.The remaining color developing agent may cause bleaching edge blur and staining that occurs during image storage after processing. By making a big impact. In particular, the increase in color of magenta, which is thought to be caused by the green-sensitive color layer, is larger than the increase in color of other cyan and yellow colors.

Note that it is desirable that the lower limit value in the film thickness regulation be reduced within a range that does not significantly impair the performance of the photosensitive material based on the above regulation. The lower limit of the total dry film thickness of the support of the photosensitive material and the constituent layers of the support excluding the undercoat layer is 12.0μ in the case of color photosensitive materials for photography, and in the case of print materials,
It is 7.0μ. In the case of photographic materials, a layer is usually installed between the photosensitive layer close to the support and the undercoat layer of the support, but the lower limit of the total dry film thickness of this layer (it may be multiple layers) is It is 1.0μ.

Further, the film thickness may be reduced in either the photosensitive layer or the non-photosensitive layer.

The film thickness of the multilayer color photosensitive material processed in the present invention is measured by the following method.

The photosensitive material to be measured is stored at 25°C, 150%, and 17+1 for 7 days after preparation. First, measure the total thickness of this sensitive material, then remove the coated layer on the support, measure the thickness again, and use the difference to calculate the total thickness of the coated layer of the above-mentioned sensitive material excluding the support. The film thickness shall be .

This thickness can be measured using, for example, a film thickness measuring device using a contact type piezoelectric transducer (Anritus Electric Co., Ltd.).
, Ltd.

K-40285Land, ).

The coating layer on the support can be removed using an aqueous solution of subzinc oxide and lithium.

Next, using a scanning electron microscope, take a cross-sectional photograph of the above-mentioned sensitive material (magnification is preferably 3.000 times or more), measure the total thickness on the support and the thickness of each layer, and calculate the previous film thickness. The thickness of each layer can be calculated by comparing it with the total thickness measured by the measuring device (absolute value of the actual thickness).

Swelling rate ((25°C
Equilibrium swelling film thickness in 81120~25°C155%1?
Dry total film thickness at H/25°C 255% + 711)X100) is preferably 50 to 200χ, and 70
~15 oz is more preferred. If the swelling ratio deviates from the two numerical values, the amount of color developing agent remaining will increase, and this will have an adverse effect on photographic performance, image quality such as -76 = desilvering ability, and film properties such as film strength.

Roughly speaking, the swelling rate in the sense + A treated with the present invention is as follows:
When 90% of the maximum swelling film thickness in a color developing solution (30°C 13 minutes 15 seconds) is defined as the saturated swelling film thickness, and the time required to reach 1/2 of this thickness is defined as the swelling rate - pV2. , Tz is preferably 15 seconds or less. More preferably, T+A is 9 seconds or less.

The silver halide contained in the photographic emulsion layer of the color light-sensitive material used in the present invention may have any silver halide composition. That is, silver chloride, silver bromide, silver chlorobromide, silver iodobromide, silver iodochloride, or silver iodochlorobromide.

Color photosensitive materials for photography and color reversal photosensitive materials (e.g.
In the case of color negative films, reversal films, color reversal papers), silver iodobromide, silver iodochloride, or silver iodochlorobromide containing 0.1 to 30 mol % of silver iodide is preferred. In the case of direct positive color light-sensitive materials, silver bromide or silver chlorobromide is preferred, and silver chloride is also preferred for rapid processing. In the case of photosensitive materials for paper, silver chloride or silver chlorobromide is preferred, particularly silver chloride in an amount of 80 mol%.
Above, silver chlorobromide is more preferably 95 mol% or more, most preferably 98 mol% or more.

Silver halide grains in photographic emulsions include those with regular crystals such as cubes, octahedrons, and tetradecahedrons, those with irregular crystal shapes such as spherical and plate shapes, and those with twin planes. may have crystal defects, or a composite form thereof.

The grain size of the silver halide may be fine grains of about 0.2 microns or less, or large grains with a projected area diameter of up to about 10 microns, and may be a polydisperse emulsion or a monodisperse emulsion.
