Abstract
Abstract A method for dispersing organic compounds which are substantially insoluble in water and are used in photographic materials, such as chemical sensitizers (except spectral sensitizing dyes), antifoggants, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbents, color couplers, coating aids, hardening agents, etc., effectively in a silver halide photosensitive emulsion comprising dissolving the organic compounds in an acid having a pKa of not over about 5, such as methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, etc., and adding the solution to the silver halide photosensitive emulsion directly or after dispersing in an aqueous solution.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
A method for dispersing a compound represented by the formula ##STR17## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, a halogen atom, a heterocyclic group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, a heterocyclic thio group, an amino group, an alkylamino group, an arylamino group, or a heterocyclic amino group in a silver halide photographic emulsion which comprises (i) preparing a silver halide photographic emulsion, (ii) dissolving said compound in a water-soluble, water-miscible acid selected from the group consisting of methane sulfonic acid and ethane sulfonic acid, said acid containing less than 10% water, (iii) dispersing said solution (ii) in an aqueous solution and then adding said dispersion to said silver halide photographic emulsion, or (iv) adding said solution (ii) directly to said silver halide photographic emulsion.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
144 words
A method for dispersing a compound represented by the formula ##STR17## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, a halogen atom, a heterocyclic group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, a heterocyclic thio group, an amino group, an alkylamino group, an arylamino group, or a heterocyclic amino group in a silver halide photographic emulsion which comprises (i) preparing a silver halide photographic emulsion, (ii) dissolving said compound in a water-soluble, water-miscible acid selected from the group consisting of methane sulfonic acid and ethane sulfonic acid, said acid containing less than 10% water, (iii) dispersing said solution (ii) in an aqueous solution and then adding said dispersion to said silver halide photographic emulsion, or (iv) adding said solution (ii) directly to said silver halide photographic emulsion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
87 words
The method of claim 1, in which said organic compound useful in photography is a compound represented by the formula ##STR18## wherein A represents a divalent aromatic group and R 4 , R 5 , R 6 and R 7 each represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, a halogen atom, a heterocyclic group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, a heterocyclic thio group, an amino group, an alkylamino group, an arylamino group, or a heterocyclc amino group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
87 words
The method of claim 1, in which said organic compound useful in photography is a compound represented by the formula ##STR19## wherein B represents a divalent aromatic group and R 8 , R 9 , R 10 and R 11 each represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, a halogen atom, a heterocyclic group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, a heterocyclic thio group, an amino group, an alkylamino group, an arylamino group, or a heterocyclic amino group.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
