Patent GB-8605278-D0 (GB)
Title: Photographic processing
IPC: G03C5/395
Filed: 1986-03-04
Abstract: The invention provides an electrolyte cell which is used for the electrodeposition of silver from a fixer medium (used as the electrolyte) which has previously been used and has to be re-used for developing photographic films, X-ray plates and the like processes wherein silver is extruded by the treatment process. Whilst the silver electrodeposition is taking place, air is bubbled through the electrolyte to prevent copper sulflate and the additives in the electrolyte from settling out and aggregating which shortens the life of the fixer medium. The electric potential which is applied to the electrodes is such as to give a much smaller electrolysing current i.e. up to 1 amp compared to the more usual electrolysing currents of 10 amp or more.
