GB/T 12938-91
This standard adopts the international standard IS0417--1977 "Determination of thiosulfate and other chemical residues in processed photographic materials--methylenc blue and silver sulphide densitometric methods". This standard is one of the specifications of the photoprocessing series. The determination of residual thiosulfate and its decomposition products can be used to evaluate the degree of sufficient washing of photographic materials and the durability of image preservation. 1 Subject content and applicable scope
This standard specifies a method for determining the total amount of residual thiosulfate and its decomposition products in processed photographic materials. The sensitivity of the thiosulfate content determination is greater than 0.1/cm. The determination range of the three methods is referred to Appendix B. This standard is only applicable to gelatin window silver photosensitive materials that are fixed with thiosulfate during processing and finally washed with water. This standard does not apply to black-and-white products that have not been fixed but stabilized. 2 Reference standards

3.5 Iodine-amylose determination method I (measurement range 0. 1~~4μg/cm thiosulfate) 3.5.1 Blank test
Except without adding sample, follow 3.5.2~3.5, 6 steps to make three tests, and take the average value (or the group with the best repeatability) as the blank density value under the reagent conditions. If the reagent is changed or replaced, the test should be repeated. The blank density value should be between 0.7 and 0.8. Note: If the density of the blank solution is not within this range, the amount of potassium iodate solution (3.2.4) in 3.5.4 can be adjusted to about 0.8mL~1.0mL. 3.5.2 Extraction
a. Place 10mL of eluent (3.2.8) in a dry 50mL beaker. Fold the sample into a W shape and place it in the eluent. Shake the beaker until the sample is completely submerged. Shake frequently for 10 minutes. If it is medium-heavy or double-layer paper, the extraction time should be increased to 20 minutes. b. For flat plate samples, place them in a glass shallow dish slightly larger than 10 ct\, and use 1 ml. The eluent can be submerged. The extraction method is the same as that for film. After extraction, transfer as much solvent as possible into a 50mL beaker. If a larger plate is used, the ratio of eluent to plate should be kept at 1mL/cI. The most suitable container is 10 ml of the extracted liquid and put it into a 50 ml beaker.
3.5.3 Preparation of solution A
Add 1 mL of formaldehyde (3.2.1) to the 50 ml beaker (3.5.2) and shake for about 30 seconds until there are no oil droplets on the beaker wall. Then add 3 mL of formic acid (3.2,6) with a pH of 2.8 and shake for about 30 seconds until there are no oil droplets on the beaker wall. The preparation of solution A is completed. Reserve solution A for use in 3.5.5. 3.5.4 Preparation of solution B
In a 50 mL volumetric flask, transfer 1 ± 0.1 mL (see note to 3.5.1) of potassium iodate solution (3.2.4) and then transfer 5 mL of zinc iodide-amylose solution (3.2.7). Shake and mix for about 10 s. Finally, transfer 5 ml of H = 2.0 formic acid solution (3.2.5). After about 20 s of shaking, the solution turns blue and is prepared as solution B.
3.5.5 Preparation of optical density sample solution
Within 30 s after the formation of blue solution R (3.5.4), pour solution A in the beaker obtained in 3.5.3 into a 50 mL volumetric flask containing solution B (3.5.4). Rinse the sample and beaker with about 20 ml of water, pour them into the volumetric flask, and dilute to the mark with water. Cover tightly, mix thoroughly, and make a sample solution. Let it stand for 3 minutes before measuring the optical density. 3.5.6 Determination of optical density
should be completed within 15mil after the optical density sample solution (3.5.5) is prepared (otherwise the optical density value will decrease). Use a spectrophotometer to measure the optical density (ABS) value of the sample solution, with a wavelength of 590 nm, a 5cm colorimetric cell, and air as the reference zero point. Note: If the measured optical density (AJS) value of the sample solution is lower than 0.09, use method 3.6. If the test solution is the white liquor, the measured optical density is the narrow white liquor case value (AS). Calculate the optical density difference (AABS) of the sample solution.

It is best not to expand the range by reducing the area of the sample to be measured to ensure accuracy. Use a measuring bottle to measure 100 triL of eluent, transfer to a 500 ml. beaker, and extract a new 10 cm sample. Stir frequently for 10 min, and increase to 20 min for medium-weight and double-image paper. If it is a sample of other area, the above ratio of eluent volume to sample area (10 ml. /cm\) should be maintained. After sufficient stirring and mixing, transfer 10 mL of the extracted solution to a clean 50 mL beaker and continue to follow steps 3.5.3 to 3.5.6. The volume increase multiple of the above extraction dilution eluent is 10 times. If the test range is not suitable, you can also choose to increase the volume increase multiple of the dilution eluent line. The volume of the eluent before extraction dilution is 10 ml.

. The detection range is 0.1~～45μg/cm thiosulfate. 4.1 Method and principle
Take a certain area of sample and put it into the elution solution containing iodine ion to extract thiosulfate (see 3.1 chemical equation). Potassium borohydride is added to the extracted solution to reduce thiosulfate to sulfide under alkaline conditions. 3H,0+2S.0+RH,-2HS-+2HSO,-+H,BO,+2H and then add ketone to prevent the following side reaction: Fe (S0,)s-+H,s H=2FesO,+H,SO +$+ and continue to add sulfur, high-speed iron and NNI) reagent to make the reduced sulfide participate in the oxidation reaction to produce methyl blue.

All gelatin silver halide products that comply with the provisions of this standard and can combine with silver ions to form yellow-brown silver sulfide (AS) under the test conditions can use this method. Method, but the density difference of the sample to be tested should be higher than 0.(3, the detection range is greater than or equal to 0.9u/cm thiosulfate. The time after the sample is processed can exceed 2 weeks, because this method can measure the derivatives and decomposition products of thiosulfate.

5.4 Samples
Cut from the non-image area or the lowest density area Take a strip sample of about 10 m, fold it in half from the midpoint and cut it along the midline. The density of the two cut samples should be as similar as possible so that the density difference can be compared during the measurement. Do not scratch the film during the measurement. For dry plate samples, two samples should also be selected according to the requirements. When the area is too large, the ratio of the area to the solution should be maintained during the measurement, and the optical density measurement should be able to be performed.
5.5 Measurement
5.5.1 Preparation of silver sulfide density sample
Mark one of the two samples at the corners first, immerse it in 20 mL of silver nitrate-acetic acid solution (5.2.1), and stir it frequently for 4 min.
GB/T 12938 ---91
Then carefully take out the sample and drain it, and put it into 0mL sodium chloride solution (5.2.2) together with another sample, stirring frequently for 4 min.
Then carefully take out the two samples and drain them, and then immerse them into 20IL fixer (5.2.3), stirring frequently for 4 min. Then carefully take out the two samples, rinse them with plain water for about 10 minutes, and put them in a ventilated place to dry. The sample immersed in silver nitrate is a color-changing sample, and the sample not immersed in silver nitrate is a non-color-changing sample. 5.5.2 Determination of optical density
5.5.2.1 Transmission material sample
: Use ultraviolet spectrophotometer to measure the optical density (ABS) of the color-changing sample and the non-color-changing sample. Use 320nm wavelength for measurement (if this wavelength is not available, 350nm can also be used). Put the non-color-changing sample block in the reference light path and the color-changing sample block in the measurement light path. The measured value is the optical density difference (△ABS). You can also measure the optical density of the color-changing and non-color-changing sample blocks separately and then calculate the optical density difference. If the sensitivity is not enough, use a double-layer sample for measurement.
Calculation: AABS-ABS—ABS*chromaticity.
h.If there is a transmission densitometer and corresponding filter (5.3.4) that can measure the ultraviolet region, the density meter can be used to measure and find the optical density difference. If the sensitivity is not enough, the double-lip sample can be used for measurement. 5.5.2.2 Reflection material samples
Reflection material samples can only be measured with a reflection densitometer and corresponding filter (5.3.4) that can measure the ultraviolet region to find the optical density difference.
5.5.3 Drawing of the standard curve of the silver sulfide chromaticity method 5.5.3.1 Preparation of standard curve samples
After the type of sample to be measured is determined, the unexposed silver halide material of the same type is washed according to the correct processing technology. After the shading process is carried out, it is washed according to different washing times (it can also be done by hand), such as every 30 seconds as a sample, 0.5min1min, 1.5min, *, until the washing time specified in the process is reached. The size of each sample should be no less than 20 cm. Let the sample dry and wait for determination to obtain the same thiosulfate content sample. 5.5.3.2 Steps for drawing the standard curve
Number each sample in sequence, cut off a part and use the iodine-amylose method (or methylene method) to determine the thiosulfate content (μg/cm\) of each sample as the standard value. Then re-measure it using the silver sulfide density method to determine the density difference (AHS) between the color changing area and the non-color changing area of each numbered sample. Then use the measured density difference as the ordinate and the measured thiosulfate standard value (/cm\) of the corresponding sample as the abscissa, where the abscissa uses a logarithmic coordinate to draw a standard curve (see Figure 4). .
GB/T 12938—91
Use iodine amylose method or sub-methylene blue method to determine the thiosulfate content in the sample) Figure 4: Example of calibration curve of silver sulfide density method 50
When the product to be tested has been placed for a long time, the reliability of the corresponding relationship may be reduced. Therefore, the product within two weeks after processing should be used as the sample of the standard curve. The corresponding sample should be re-measured by silver sulfide density method every period of time (such as once a month) to see if the measured silver sulfide density difference has changed. Through experimental methods, find out the test period that this product can be placed after processing, that is, within this period of time, the product will not affect the test result when measured by silver sulfide density method. Different products of each type of material in the silver sulfide density method only correspond to the standard curve determined by experiment. When changing the variety of the sample to be tested, it must be re-calibrated. Each variety should have its own calibration curve. Due to different experimental conditions and product varieties, the shape of the standard curve may also change. Each laboratory should establish its own actual standard curve.
5.6 Description of the test results
The corresponding thioate content (ug/cm\) is obtained from the silver sulfide density difference (ABS) of the sample on the standard curve. When the density difference is less than or equal to 0.03, it can be ignored.
