| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a treatment method for treating effluents from a photographic development process, particularly a redox amplification (RX) development process, which is operated at an alkaline pH and is buffered with a phosphate buffer, said treatment method being characterised by the addition to the effluents of a Group II or Group III metal cation which forms an aqueous insoluble or substantially insoluble phosphate salt, thereby to precipitate phosphate salt from the effluent, and to reduce the pH of the effluent. |
