PROCEDURE A Rapid Determination of the Approximate Silver Concentration in Thiosulfate Fixing Baths Note: Use the markings on the cylinders for all measurement. Treatment of Sample 1. Obtain three 100-mL glass-stoppered graduated cylinders (labeled 2, 4, and 6). Add to each graduated cylinder 10 mL of fixing bath sample, 10 mL of 0.1 M potassium ferricyanide, and 10 mL of 6 N accelerator reagent. Swirl to mix. If the resulting color is: a. Reddish-brown, proceed to Step 2. b. Black, add 10 ml more of 0.1 M potassium ferricyanide and swirl to mix. Proceed to Step 2 if the resulting color is reddish-brown. If not, start over again, using a fresh sample and a 0.2 M potassium ferricyanide reagent. 2. Using a polyethylene squeeze bottle, add to the cylinders the following volumes of 0.00926 N thioacetamide: Cylinder mL 0.0926 N Thioacetamide Identification 2 20 4 40 6 60 3. Stopper and shake all cylinders vigorously for 5 seconds. 4. Filter approximately 20 ml of the contents of each cylinder through a Whatman No. 3 (12.5 cm diameter) filter paper and collect the filtrates in beakers containing approximately 5 mL of 0.00926 N thioacetamide. 5. Observe the appearance of the beakers’ contents and refer to Table 1, Decision Sheet for Determining Silver Concentration Range (10 mL Sample) Procedure A. Reporting Results 1. The results from these three cylinders permit the conclusion that the silver content of the fix is: a. less than 2 g/L b. between 2 and 4 g/L c. between 4 and 6 g/L d. over 6 g/L * 2. One more individual trial will suffice to establish the silver content between two silver concentrations 1.0 g/L apart (See PROCEDURE B). * If the silver content is more than 6 g/L, dilute the sample with an equal volume of water and rerun the determinations corresponding to cylinders 2, 4, and 6. Remember to multiply any final answer by 2. Table 1 Decision Sheet for Determining Silver Concentration Range (10 mL Sample) Procedure A Cylinder No. 0.00926 N Thioacetamide Added If the Contents of the Beaker Turns Color, * Amount of Silver in Fix is More Than 1 10 1.0 g/L 2 20 2.0 g/L 3 30 3.0 g/L 4 40 4.0 g/L 5 50 5.0 g/L 6 60 6.0 g/L If the Contents of the Beaker Remains Clear, † Amount of Silver in Fix is Less Than * The color in the beaker is greater than a blank consisting of appropriate amounts of sample, potassium ferricyanide, 6 N NaOH-EDTA reagent and water (in place of 0.00926 N thioacetamide) which have been filtered, the filtrate being collected in about 5 mL of water. † The color in the beaker is not greater than a blank prepared as above. PROCEDURE B Determination of Silver in Thiosulfate Fixing Baths Note: Procedure A has established the approximate silver concentration. If it is desirable to determine the concentration more precisely, it is necessary to “zero-in” on the end point by measuring volumes with pipets and burets and by using smaller increments of 0.00926 N thioacetamide in the end point region. This procedure establishes the silver content between two concentrations 0.1 g/L apart, with three or fewer trials. Treatment of Sample 1. Pipet into 4 100-ml glass-stoppered graduated cylinders 10.0 mL of fixing bath. Using the markings on the cylinders, add to one of the cylinders 10 mL of 0.1 potassium ferricyanide, and 10 mL of 6 N accelerator reagent. Swirl to mix. If the resulting color is: a. reddish-brown, proceed to Step 2. b. black, add 10 mL more of 0.1 N potassium ferricyanide. Swirl to mix. Proceed to Step 2 if the resulting color is reddish-brown. If not, start over again using a fresh sample and a 0.2 M potassium ferricyanide reagent. Prepare the remaining cylinders similarly. 2. Add from a buret the appropriate amount of 0.00926 N thioacetamide to each cylinder. 2 Processing KODAK Motion Picture Films, Module 3, Analytical Procedures H24.03

Note: The appropriate amounts of 0.00926 N thioacetamide are selected from Table 2, Decision Sheet for Determining Silver Concentration (10.00 mL Sample) Procedure B, and are based on the silver concentration found in Procedure A. For example, if the concentration was found to be more than 2 but less than 3 grams per liter, the region to explore is between 2 and 3. Increments shown are in 1.0 mL 0.00926 N thioacetamide (equivalent to 0.1 g Ag/1). To obtain greater efficiency, the end point may be approached by trying one at about 2.5 g/L and then one at 2.3 g/L or 2.7 g/L, depending on the result obtained with 2.5 g/L. 3. Stopper and shake all cylinders vigorously for 5 seconds. 4. Filter approximately 20 mL of the contents of each cylinder through a Whatman No. 3 (12.5 cm diameter) filter paper and collect the filtrates in beakers containing approximately 5 mL of 0.00926 N thioacetamide each.
