  • Patent number: 5166045
    Abstract: The incorporation of dopant during the precipitation of silver halide grains. The silver halide grains are formed by a double jet, accelerated flow technique. After addition of about 65 to 90% of the silver halide mass to be precipitated, a dopant solution of an Group VIB salt in an amount of between about 0.2 and about 1.0 mg salt per mole of silver is added to the precipitation dispersion. The dispersion formation is then allowed to complete by continuing the double jet precipitation technique until a desired grain size is reached. Grains formed by this process will have their outer third comprising the Group VI metal salt with the silver halide. In the preferred method the Group VIB metal salt added is a selenium salt comprising potassium selenocyanate.
