PURPOSE:To prevent flowing of bubbles, which are generated by air blowing-in, into a bleach-fix bath, by providing the first liquid passage, through which the bleach-fix liquid including bubbles rises, and the second liquid passage, through which the bleach-fix liquid falls, in the bottom part of a liquid storing part for bubble separation having a large area. CONSTITUTION:This device is inserted and set to a bleach-fix bath 1 of an automatic developer provided with an air blowing-in means to regenerate the bleach- fix liquid; and when air is charged to a foaming part 4 through an air supply tube 2, air becomes fine bubbles and is discharged into the bleach-fix liquid and rises while being brought into contact with the bleach-fix liquid in a liquid rise tube 11. During this rise, the bleach-fix liquid is regenerated and rises to an upper liquid storage part 12. The bleach-fix liquid in the liquid storage part 12 is separated into an upper layer 4 including much bubbles and a lower layer 5 which includes hardly bubbles, and the bleach-fix liquid is extracted from the lower layer 5 through a liquid fall tube 13, and thus, the regenerated liquid including no bubbles is returned to the bleach-fix bath 1. |
