Abstract

PURPOSE:To stably produce silver halide emulsion particles by the simple method by using an acid prior to a cleaning with pure water at the time of cleaning a line for adding an ammonia silver nitrate soln. CONSTITUTION:The acid is used at the time of cleaning the line for adding the ammonia silver nitrate soln. Acids which do not contain halogens are more preferable as the acid to be used and are exemplified by sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, etc. among which the nitric acid is most preferable. The cleaning is executed by the method consisting of putting a silver nitrate soln. or sulfuric acid soln. to the line for adding the silver nitrate soln. after the execution of a charging by an ammonia method, then sealing and resting the liquid for >=40 minutes, more preferably >=60 minutes and thereafter, discharging the liquid and finally cleaning the line with the pure water. The silver oxide which cannot be removed by the pure water alone is removed in this way. The stable execution of the emulsification production thereafter is possible.

Neutral emulsions are produced by reacting a halide salt and a silver salt (silver nitrate) in a nearly neutral aqueous solution to produce silver halide crystals.
The ammonia emulsion is a physical ripening method in which ammonia is allowed to coexist when a halogen salt and a silver salt are reacted. Ammonia is a solution obtained by adding aqueous ammonia to a silver nitrate solution and dissolving the precipitate that forms once by adding aqueous ammonia (total amount of ammoniacal silver nitrate solution, 2 moles of ammonia per 1 mole of silver nitrate). )
Usually, they are made to coexist by mixing halogen salt with ammonia, but if the amount of ammonia added is less than the total amount (such as when ammoniacal silver nitrate and a silver nitrate solution without ammonia are used together), ammonia is added to the halogen salt. There are also cases.

When silver halide emulsions (hereinafter simply referred to as emulsions) are produced by such an ammonia method, the addition line used for adding the ammoniacal silver nitrate solution has traditionally been carefully washed several times with pure water or hot pure water. I was cleaning. However, ammoniacal silver nitrate solution that adheres to the walls of the addition line produces silver oxide, which may not be removed by washing with pure water. For this reason, when the variety is changed, for example in the production of seed emulsion, the presence of impurities (silver oxide) may cause the nucleus to deteriorate, depending on whether the emulsion was prepared using the ammonia method or the neutral method. The difference in the number of occurrences resulted in variations in particle size etc. after the ammonia method compared to when no ammonia method was used before.
