Definitions
- Colloidal silver is prepared in enriched form, suitable for the manufacture of photographic antihalation and color filter layers, from an aqueous medium in which the silver is present as a dilute dispersion, by adding a flocculating agent and separating the flocculate at a pH from 3 to 8 and redispersing it in the presence of citrate ions.
- silver halide-gelatine dispersions for photographic purposes can be advantageously freed from the extraneous salts formed in their manufacture and can be enriched by the so-called flocking-out process.
- numerous flocculating agents suitable for this purpose are known.
- the colloidal silver is very finely particulate so that only a part of it is taken up by the precipitating gelatine and unacceptably high losses result. Even when this disadvantage does not arise and flocculation can be carried out more or less completely, the flocculate can no longer be redispersed or the colloidal silver changes color during redispersion, for example from black to brown, which makes it unsuitable for the use in hand.
- the present invention now consists in a process for the manufacture of enriched colloidal silver from an aqueous medium in which the colloidal silver has been obtained as a dilute dispersion by reduction of silver salts, when said medium is treated with an agent capable of flocculating colloidal silver at a pH value from 3 to 8, and the flocculate is then separated at a pH value from 3 to 8 and redispersed in enriched form in a protective colloid in the presence of an alkali group citrate.
- the aqueous media used as starting materials which contain finely dispersed metallic silver and a protective colloid, for example, egg albumen or preferably gelatine, can be prepared in the usual manner; depending on the reducing agent and working conditions used, silver particles of different sizes are obtained and therefore dispersions of different colors result.
- a protective colloid for example, egg albumen or preferably gelatine
- silver particles of different sizes are obtained and therefore dispersions of different colors result.
- blue-black colloidal silver is obtained when silver nitrate is reduced with hydrazine in a medium containing an alkali metal hydroxide.
- Yellow colloidal silver can be prepared from silver nitrate with the aid of tannin.
- Further suitable reducing agents are dextrine and hydroquinone.
- Flocculating agents which come into consideration are those products capable of flocking-out silver halide emulsions which cause flocculation at a pH value from 3 to 8.
- certain flocculating agents may produce particularly favorable results.
- those colorless compounds are especially suitable that contain at least one acid group imparting solubility in water, at least one six-membered heterocycle consisting of three or four carbon atoms and three or two nitrogen atoms, and at least one aromatic residue.
- Such compounds are known (see British Specification No. 1,041,085).
- flocculating agents which, for example, may be advantageously used for flocking out yellow colloidal silver reduced with tannin
- those compounds which are obtained by condensing a diaminodiphenylsulfonic acid with a thiophene-Z,S-dicarboxylic acid dihalide in the molecular ratio of 1:2 to 2:1, particularly the condensation products of diaminodiphenylsulfonic acids of the formula X HOzS in which X stands for a methyl group or for a hydrogen atom.
- the condensation of the diamino compounds with the acid halides may be carried out in an aqueous medium, advantageously in the presence of an acid acceptor in such a manner that the pH value of the reaction medium does not fall below 7.
- the acid halide preferably thiopene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid dichloride-to the reaction mixture as a solution in a water-miscible organic solvent, for example, in acetone.
- the flocculate is separated at a pH value from 3 to 8. It is advantageous to adjust the pH value after the reduction and before the addition of the flocculating agent to the desired value within these limits, whereupon the flocculating agent is added.
- the flocculating agent may first be added at a pH value outside this range and the pH value adjusted afterwards. Even when the flocculating agent is added at a pH value from 3 to 8 it may sometimes be advantageous to vary the pH value within the indicated limits before proceeding to the separation of the flocculate.
- the pH value may be varied by conventional means, for example strong acids, for example sulfuric acid, strong bases, for example sodium hydroxide or, if desired, compounds having a buffer action, for example weak acids, weak bases, acidic or basic salts.
- the amount of flocculating agent used should suffice to flock out as much of the colloidal silver as possible.
- the amount depends'on various factors, for example the concentration of the silver dispersion, the content of colloidal (gelatine), reducing agent, byproducts and further additives. and it may differ considerably from case to case. If necessary. it is easy to determine the minimum and/or maximum quantity by preliminary tests. A large excess is in general neither deleterious, nor advantageous.
- the fiocculate may be separated in the usual manner, for example by filtration, or most simply by allowing it to settle and then decanting the supernatant liquid. In the case of flocculate that settle slowly, separation can be accelerated by centrifuging. To ensure that as much as possible of the water-soluble extraneous substances also contained in the flocculate are removed, it is recommended to wash the flocculate with water.
- the flocculate obtained in this manner is redispersed in a protective colloid in the presence of citrate ions.
- the most advantageous protective colloid is gelatine.
- the protective colloid contained in the fioceulate sufiices for the redispersion but in most cases an addition of further protective colloid is advantageous.
- the citrate ions are introduced into the mixture by addition of a water-soluble alkali group citrate such as ammonium, lithium, rubidium, caesium and preferably sodium or potassium citrate.
- the desired pH value can be adjusted in the usual manner, for example when the medium is too acidic by adding for example an alkali metal hydroxide.
- it is of advantage to carry out the redispersion at a temperature from 40 to 60 C.
- the flocculate is redispersed in such a manner that the col' loidal silver is enriched compared with its content in the reduction mixture.
- the amounts of substances required for the dispersion may be so chosen, for example, that a material immediately suitable for use in the casting of photographic filter or antihalation layers is directly obtained. It is also possible to manufacture dispersions having a higher silver content which, before being used are diluted to the requisite concentration by adding water and/or gelatine thereto. In general, it may be said that the dispersions advantageously contain 1 to 10 percent of metallic silver and 4 to 10 percent of a protective colloid, preferably gelatine.
- the proportion of citrate ions is variable and may be, for example, 3 to 8 percent (calculated as HOOC-CH,-C(OH)(COOI-l)-CH,-COOH) referred to dry gelatine).
- the silver dispersions thus obtained may be worked up in the usual manner and with the usual additives, for example wetting agents, potassium bromide for adjusting an optimal pBr value, and hardeners for the gelatine, to form photographic layers.
- the usual additives for example wetting agents, potassium bromide for adjusting an optimal pBr value, and hardeners for the gelatine, to form photographic layers.
- EXAMPLE 1 A solution of 60 g. of gelatine and 120 g. of citric acid in 3 liters of water is heated to 40 C. and, with mechanical stirring, mixed with a solution of 24 ml. of 100 percent hydrazine hydrate in 90 ml. of aqueous 28 percent sodium hydroxide solution. A solution of 300 g. of silver nitrate in 3 liters of water is then added within 10 minutes while maintaining the temperature at 40 C. Then 60 ml. of 28 percent sodium hydroxide solution and after 25 minutes another 70 ml. of 28 percent sodium hydroxide solution are added and the batch is allowed to react for another 25 minutes; 160 ml.
