摘要:
Improved photopolymerization initiator systems are comprised of a spectral sensitizer that sensitizes in the ultraviolet or visible regions of the spectrum and an N-aryl, O-aryl or S-aryl polycarboxylic acid co-initiator. The improved initiator systems are incorporated in photo-polymerizable compositions containing one or more addition-polymerizable ethylenically-unsaturated compounds to form compositions suitable for the preparation of radiation-sensitive layers in lithographic printing plates adapted to be imagewise-exposed with ultraviolet- or visible-light-emitting lasers such as argon-ion lasers and frequency doubled Nd:YAG lasers. Such plates are able to effectively meet the dual requirements of very high photospeed and very good shelf-life required in computer-to-plate systems.
摘要:
A process for removing tin from seasoned photographic color developers containing tin as stannous or stannate complex ions, comprising the steps of:
(a) collecting seasoned photographic color developer containing tin; (b) treating the collected developer with a resin having a chelating group selected from diphosphonic acid, amidoxime and thiol, thereby removing tin from the composition.
摘要:
A simple and effective peroxide bleaching solution includes a hydrogen peroxide bleaching agent and chloride ion in an amount of at least 0.45 mol/l. An organic phosphonic acid or tertiary aminocarboxylic acid can also be present for stability. The bleaching solution is useful for bleaching developed color photographic materials containing 0 to 100 mol % silver chloride in the silver halide emulsions.
摘要:
A process for the development of photographic materials comprises developing the materials in a bath of developer processing solution and subjecting the used developer solution to a water recovery step comprising distillation or reverse osmosis and using the recovered water to prepare a photographic processing solution or as a compensator for evaporation loss and wherein said used developer solution passed to the water recovery step is free of contaminants such as ammonia or sulphur dioxide present in bleaching and fixing agents. Preferably the used developer solution is subjected to the water recovery without the addition of other photographic processing liquids. The recovered water may be used to prepare developer solution or developer replenisher solution and recycled to the developer processing bath. The invention includes an apparatus for the development of photographic materials and recycling water from the used developer solution which comprises a first tank (2) for holding developer processing solution, a second tank (4) for holding replenisher solution and connected to the first tank (2) so that replenisher solution may be fed thereto, a third tank (10) connected to the first tank (6) for receiving displaced developer solution, characterised in that distillation means (13,14) are provided for recovering water from the displaced solution and means (12) are provided for recycling the distilled water.
