    摘要: A process of preparing a high bromide tabular grain emulsion comprising a dispersion medium and silver halide grains including tabular grains having {111} major faces and an aspect ratio of at least 2, which contain greater than 50 mole percent bromide, based on silver, and which account for greater than 50 percent of total grain projected area, where such tabular grains have an average aspect ratio of at least 5, the process comprising (i) in a grain nucleation step creating in a dispersing medium tabular silver halide grain nuclei containing parallel twin planes and (ii) in a grain growth step subsequently growing the tabular grain nuclei into tabular grains in a silver halide reaction vessel by adding a silver ion source and a halide ion source to the reaction vessel and precipitating silver halide onto the tabular grain nuclei, wherein thiocyanate ion is introduced into the silver halide reaction vessel prior to the addition of at least the final 10 mole percent of the total silver added to the reaction vessel, and further wherein the introduced thiocyanate ion concentration is at most 0.4 mole %, based on the total silver added to the reaction vessel. Use of thiocyanate during grain precipitation result in increased aspect ratio without degrading morphological purity.

    摘要: A method for the reproducible production of nonuniform distributions of polymolecular association clusters, each of the clusters comprising a plurality of a species A in association with a single species B, is disclosed. Species A is preferably a photographic dye and Species B is preferably a silver halide particle. The method comprises: (a) mixing a suspension of particles of species B in a vessel; (b) flowing a portion of the suspension through an isolated reaction zone; (c) introducing species A into the isolated reaction zone; and (d) returning the portion of the suspension including the introduced species A to the vessel. In another aspect, the invention relates to an apparatus for carrying out the foregoing process.

    摘要: A fluid (liquid or gas) distributing apparatus comprises a series of annular conduits positioned concentrically and close to a region for mixing or performing a reaction. Each annular conduit has a plurality of orifices associated therewith which are spaced circumferentially and symmetrically proximate to the region and each orifice is positioned to deliver a liquid stream to the region. A feed line connects with a plurality of branch lines, each branch line connecting with one of the annular conduits. Valves in the lines control the flow of liquid to the annular conduits. The conduits in the series are arranged for use in the method of the invention in a sequence, beginning with the conduit of greatest flow resistance when the feed rate is low and continuing successively with the conduits of lower flow resistance as the fixed rate increases. The resulting uniform flow rates through the orifices and avoidance of back flow contribute to high yield and quality of product.

    摘要: A process is disclosed for preparing a silver halide emulsion comprised of serially receiving a silver halide emulsion at an upstream location, supplying the silver halide emulsion in a further prepared form at a downstream location, and transporting the silver halide emulsion between the upstream and downstream locations while it is being further prepared. The silver halide emulsion is divided into discrete segments as it is received at the upstream location. The discrete segments of the silver halide emulsion are transported between the upstream and downstream locations in the sequence of their formation. The emulsion can be finished as it is transported to the downstream location. The silver halide grains can be shelled during transport. In still another application a converted-halide emulsion can be formed during transport to the downstream location. An apparatus for the preparation of the silver halide emulsion is comprised of a tubular helix capable of being oriented so that its longitudinal axis is substantially horizontal. The tubular helix defines an inlet and an outlet. Means are provided for rotating the tubular helix about its longitudinal axis, and means are provided for supplying silver halide emulsion to the inlet of said tubular helix when the inlet lies below the longitudinal axis.
