DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing silver halide grains, and more particularly, to a high-sensitivity silver halide tabular high silver chloride grain having excellent rapid processing properties, a method for forming the grains, and a silver halide photographic material. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials are very popular today because they have very high characteristics, such as high sensitivity and excellent gradation, as compared with other light-sensitive materials. It is used for Among them, a light-sensitive material using silver halide grains having a high silver chloride content is preferred from the viewpoint of processing speed.
In such silver halide grains having a high silver chloride content, recently, higher sensitivity, higher sharpness, improved graininess,
Studies on tabular silver halide grains have been actively conducted with the aim of speeding up processing.

[0003] Such tabular silver halide grains having a high silver chloride content include grains having a (111) major plane (hereinafter also referred to as (111) tabular grains) and (100).
Particles having a main plane (hereinafter also referred to as (100) tabular particles) are known.

Among these, as a method for forming tabular grains having a (111) plane as a main plane, the grains are formed in the presence of a crystal habit controlling agent such as aminoazaindene, pyrimidine, aminoazine, thiourea, or xanthoidoid. Methods are known. However, in general, the (100) plane is stable in silver halide grains having a high silver chloride content, and these crystal habit controlling agents are desorbed when salts formed during the formation of silver halide grains are removed. The shape of the particles changes (1)
11) It has been difficult to stably obtain tabular grains having a plane as a main plane. Further, many of such crystal habit control agents are known as so-called inhibitors, and there has been a problem that chemical sensitization cannot be performed well in the presence of these compounds. On the other hand, tabular grains having a (100) plane as a main plane are described in JP-A-5-204073, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,264,337, 5,275,930, and JP-A-6-301131. 6-308648, 6

No. 7507 and the like. These tabular silver halide grains having the (100) plane as the main plane are (111)
Compared to tabular silver halide grains having a major surface as a plane, the shape is more stable, and there is an advantage that spectral chemical sensitization is easily performed since no crystal habit controlling agent is particularly required.

[0005] As a method for introducing anisotropic growth into grains to grow them into (100) tabular grains, imidazole,
There are a method of adding a (100) plane formation accelerator such as 3,5-diaminotriazole, and a method of forming a gap in the halogen composition or causing a strain on the crystal plane under conditions such as high temperature and high pressure. The former method using a (100) plane formation accelerator has a problem that, similarly to the (111) plane formation accelerator, chemical sensitization cannot be performed well in the presence of these compounds. Since it cannot be neglected, a method utilizing a halogen composition gap surface by a silver iodide phase and a silver bromide phase is preferably used. As a typical example of the method utilizing the gap of the halogen composition, there is known a method in which silver iodide and silver bromide are present to cause nuclei to be distorted due to the difference in the size of the crystal lattice from silver chloride. However, for example, JP-A-5-204073 and JP-A-6-30
When nucleation is performed in a solution containing iodine ions as shown in No. 1129, many irregular particles are formed.
A method of forming nuclei in an environment substantially free of iodide ions, and then adding iodide ions to the solution,
For example, even the method disclosed in JP-A-7-270951 cannot suppress the formation of non-tabular grains containing irregular grains, and the ratio of the projected area of tabular grains to the total projected area (hereinafter also referred to as the tabular ratio). Was not obtained. JP-A-2-167
There is a method in which fine silver iodide grains are present during growth using the method disclosed in US Pat. JP-A-9-96
No. 881 discloses a manufacturing method in which this method is applied to (100) flat plate formation. However, even with this method, various particles including irregular particles have grown. Therefore, according to the conventional method, non-tabular grains are formed at the same time in the tabular grain forming process, and a (100) tabular grain emulsion having a sufficiently high tabular ratio cannot be obtained.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. In the formation process of growing cubic grains with anisotropic growth and growing (100) tabular grains, silver iodide and silver bromide are present to form nuclei due to the difference in crystal lattice size from silver chloride. Many methods of forming a flat plate by causing distortion have been reported. If a larger strain can be generated, the anisotropic growth is large, and a thinner high aspect ratio plate can be expected to grow, and for that purpose, iodine ions are expected to be effective. However, when nucleation is performed in a solution containing iodine ions and the particles are grown, tabular grains are also formed, but many irregular-shaped grains are similarly formed. It is presumed that this is because an excessive stacking error occurs due to iodine ions from the time of nucleation and many grains having twins and dislocation lines are generated. Therefore, after forming nuclei of normal crystals under an environment substantially free of iodide ions,
The twins are prepared by adding an iodide salt aqueous solution to the solution,
Although it was thought that the formation of atypical grains possibly caused by dislocation lines was suppressed, a (100) tabular grain emulsion having a sufficiently high ratio of the projected area of the tabular grains to the total projected area could not be obtained. Was. This is considered to be because a region having a large non-uniformity of the iodine ion concentration distribution occurs near the addition nozzle, and it is difficult to perform uniform particle growth between particles. Experiments have shown that when the rate of addition of the aqueous iodide salt solution is reduced by using a pump or the like in order to alleviate the non-uniformity of iodine ions near the nozzle, the non-uniformity between particles further increases. This is probably because iodine ion precipitation proceeds preferentially on silver chloride particles on which iodine has been deposited, and furthermore, iodine ion precipitation is very rapid in a solution containing silver chloride. In this case, it can be expected that it is difficult to perform uniform grain growth between grains.

As a method for eliminating the non-uniformity of the aqueous iodide salt solution, a method of making fine silver iodide grains exist during the growth is well known. This method is applied to the formation of (100) flat plate. However, it was not possible to sufficiently suppress the formation of irregular grains, and various grains grew, and it was not possible to obtain the desired high tabular ratio emulsion only by increasing the uniformity by a conventionally known method.

However, according to the method shown in the present invention, a silver halide emulsion having a very high tabular ratio could be obtained.
Further, in the present invention, even when an iodide salt aqueous solution was used, grains having a higher tabular ratio could be formed, and tabular grains having a very high aspect ratio were formed at a high ratio.
In other words, it is suggested that the method of the present invention is not only a method of uniformly mixing iodine, but also a method of efficiently forming defects that are advantageous for forming a target tabular grain. Accordingly, the present invention can achieve the production of a silver halide emulsion having a higher proportion of a higher aspect ratio tabular plate.

The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The reaction vessel 1 in FIG. 1 is a reaction vessel corresponding to the reaction vessel (B) of the present invention, and is a vessel for growing silver halide grains. The mixer 2 includes a draft tube 6 installed inside the reaction vessel 1 so as to surround the stirring blade of the stirrer 5. At the lower part of the mixer 2, reaction solution supply pipes 3 and 4 are provided.
The reaction solution supplied from these reaction solution supply pipes is strongly mixed by a mixer, reacted, and then discharged into the main body of the reaction vessel. For example, iodine-free silver halide grain nuclei formed in another reaction vessel (A) are supplied from the reaction solution supply pipe 3, while halogens not contained in the silver halide grain nuclei are supplied from the reaction solution supply pipe 4. For example, an aqueous solution containing iodine ions is supplied. After the addition of the silver halide grain nucleus and the different halogen, the reaction solution for grain growth is added from the reaction solution supply pipes 3 and 4 or another reaction solution supply pipe (not shown) to obtain silver halide grains.

Furthermore,
A method is also preferable in which a nucleus formed in the reaction vessel (A) is rapidly added to the reaction vessel (B) in which different types of halogens are present in advance.

Is 100% of the value S / D obtained by dividing by the average diameter D) is preferably 30% or less.

In the tabular silver halide grains according to the present invention, the parallel principal plane is preferably the (100) plane. The principal plane referred to here is a set of parallel planes having the largest area among the crystal surfaces forming substantially rectangular parallelepiped emulsion grains. The average particle diameter of the main plane can be obtained, for example, by photographing the particles with an electron microscope at a magnification of 10,000 to 50,000 times and measuring the projected area of the particles on the print (the number of measured particles is zero). There shall be 1000 or more discriminations.) The particle thickness can also be obtained by actually measuring an electron micrograph.

According to this method, a silver halide emulsion having a regular crystal form and a nearly uniform grain size can be obtained.

In the tabular silver halide grains of the present invention, some or all of the steps during grain formation may be grain forming steps by supplying fine silver halide grains. Since the particle size of the fine particles supports the supply rate of halide ions, the preferred particle size varies depending on the size and the halogen composition of the silver halide grains of the host, but those having an average equivalent spherical diameter of 0.3 μm or less are preferably used. . More preferably, it is 0.1 μm or less.
