Abstract

PURPOSE:To recycle waste water discharged by rinsing after fixing by applying a reverse osmotic method and bringing the water into contact with activated carbon. CONSTITUTION:A film or photographic paper passed through a fixing stage is rinsed, and the waste rinsing water is fed to a reverse osmotic treatment apparatus using a reverse osmotic membrane made of cellulose acetate, aromatic polyamide, polyvinyl alcohol, polysulfone or the like to almost thoroughly separate and concentrate inorg. and org. dissolved substances including silver and to practically recover valuable components such as silver from the waste water. The water discharged from the reverse osmotic stage is brought into contact with activated carbon to remove a very small amount of permeated org. chemicals from the water. The water treated with the activated carbon is recycled as water for rinsing after fixing.

In general photographic processing, a large amount of washing water is used to wash away the chemicals from film and photographic paper, since the presence of residual processing chemicals significantly impairs their storage stability. When processing chemicals contained in film and photographic paper are transferred to the washing tank, these! It adhered to the actual materials and was carried into the washing treatment tank, where it was disposed of as washing wastewater. Fixing chemicals consist of small amounts of various inorganic and organic chemicals, including silver. Some of these drugs contain biological S**
Because it contains substances with high chemical oxygen demand (OD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), disposing of washing wastewater as it is causes environmental pollution. In addition, although the concentration of silver in washing wastewater is low, since there are many jars of wastewater, the total amount of silver is small, and recovering expensive silver is of great significance. Therefore, it is of great economic value to efficiently recover silver and water from washing wastewater and to recycle the water as washing water. However, until now, it has not been established that silver and water can be recovered simultaneously and economically from washing wastewater, and the silver and water have been disposed of unrecovered.

As a method for recovering only silver from photographic bleach-fixing washing water, a method has been proposed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-152137 in which silver is separated and recovered by electrolysis. Another method is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-161034, in which silver is adsorbed and separated on a chelate resin for adsorbing heavy metals.

In either method, although the silver yield is 1, the wastewater after treatment cannot be recycled as washing water, and the recovery equipment is large due to the large number of wastewater workers and the low silver concentration, and the recovery operation is complicated. there were. Of course, it was possible to recover water and silver separately using conventional methods, but in these cases, the recovery process would be complicated and the equipment and processing costs would be high, making it difficult for small and medium-sized color photo labs and It could not be carried out industrially in a laboratory.

That is, the present invention uses reverse osmosis to concentrate and recover dissolved substances from washing wastewater after photographic fixing processing, thereby substantially recovering valuable components such as silver from the wastewater, and removing waste from the reverse osmosis process. The discharged water is then brought into contact with activated carbon and recycled for use as washing water after fixing the photograph.

The main advantage of the present invention is that inorganic and organic chemicals including silver in washing wastewater can be almost completely separated and concentrated using a reverse osmosis membrane, and organic chemicals that pass through the membrane-permeated water in a very small amount can be treated with activated carbon and recycled as washing water. We discovered that it can be recycled, and as a result, we were able to save a lot of water for washing. On the other hand, the concentrated washing wastewater has a small amount of water and has a high concentration of valuable components such as silver, and can be easily recovered by conventional recovery methods, for example, silver can be precipitated and recovered as silver sulfide.

In the present invention, it is necessary that the quality of the water to be recycled be equal to or higher than that of the water supplied to the washing tank 2G. If the quality of the recycled water is poor, impurities will gradually accumulate in the washer during operation, which will have a negative impact on film and photographic paper. The amount of water to be recycled may be determined as appropriate by comprehensively evaluating the concentration and composition of the washing wastewater, the separation performance of the reverse osmosis membrane used in the reverse osmosis process, the economical benefits of recovery, and the like. Although the recycled holo of the present invention is not particularly specified, it is preferable that 50 to 90% of the reverse osmosis MonoSeal supplied hot water be recovered.

The adsorption method for activated carbon treatment can be either batch or column type, but column type allows membrane permeate water to be passed directly to the column, so treated water can be obtained continuously, and a supply system pump can be attached. Although it is not necessary, it is preferable. In the case of a column type, it is possible to conduct the water flow at a water flow rate of SVI to 20, but preferably a water flow rate of SV5 to 10 can efficiently adsorb organic substances.
