Method and apparatus for the electrolytic treatment of bleach-fix baths, as well as an apparatus for processing photographic materials

摘要

A method for the electrolytic treatment of a bleach-fix bath by which an anode and a cathode that are submerged in the spent bleach-fix bath are supplied with an electric current whereby the silver dissolved in the spent bleach-fix bath as a silver complex salt is precipitated at the cathode, characterized in that the cathode is disengaged from the spent bleach-fix bath when no electric current is applied.
