Abstract: A method for reducing the concentration of cyclohexenone in a cyclohexenone containing organic mixture is disclosed. The method includes contacting an organic mixture comprising cyclohexenone with an effective amount of at least one of sulfurous acid, a salt of sulfurous acid, an alkali hydroxide, or a mixture of two or more of these compounds.

Abstract: An improved method of hardening a hydrophilic colloid is detailed. The hardening results in a stronger matrix and less water pickup. These and other advantages are obtained by hardening with a combination of at least one hardener chosen from Formula I either alone or in combination with at least one hardener chosen from Formula II: ##STR1## The substituents are defined.

Abstract: This invention is related to improved hardeners for proteinaceous materials. More specifically this invention is related to improved imidazolium hardeners for crosslinking a proteinaceous material for use in a photographic film.

Abstract: An improved hardener and a photographic element comprising same defined by ##STR1## wherein: the substituent groups are as defined in the specification.

Abstract: Hardeners for hydrophilic colloid defined by the formula: ##STR1## The hardeners are for crosslinking proteinaceous materials for use in photographic films.

Abstract: An improved imidazolium hardener is described. These novel hardners are specifically advantageous for hardening, or crosslinking, a hydrophilic colloid in a photographic element. The advance in the art is realized in A hardening agent chosen from the set consisting of: ##STR1## wherein: Y.sup.1 represents an alkyl of 6-24 carbons, aryl of 6-24 carbons, aralkyl of 7 to 25 carbons, the atoms chosen from C, N, O, and S necessary to form a 5- or 6-membered ring, or --L.sup.1 CR.sup.13 CH.sub.2 ;L.sup.1 is a linking group;R.sup.1 is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 24 carbons, aryl of 6 to 24 carbons, aralkyl of 7 to 25 carbons or halogen;R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently represent alkyl of 1-24 carbons, aryl of 6-24 carbons, aralkyl of 7 to 25 carbons or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently may represent, or be taken together to represent the atoms chosen from C, N, O and S necessary to form a 5- or 6-membered ring;R.sup.4 and R.sup.

Abstract: A process of developing exposed silver halide elements comprises developing said element in a developer in the presence of a development accelerator compound as defined. The development accelerator compounds include pyridinium, or pyridinium and and imidazolium compounds. The process is applicable to standard and hydrazine-containing films and to hydroquinone and/or ascorbic acid-based developers. The development accelerator may be incorporated into the developer or into the silver halide emulsion.

Abstract: A process for stabilizing aqueous solution of aryl hydrazides is described. These solutions may be made by the addition of a stabilizing amount of ascorbic acid, isoascorbic acid, erythorbic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid. glucose and a cyclodextrin, etc., or mixtures, for example. When aqueous solutions of aryl hydrazides containing these stabilizers/antioxidants are prepared, the solution will have a shelf life of up to 30 days compared to 1-3 hours of solutions without the stabilizer/antioxidant. The stabilized aryl hydrazide is useful in photographic silver halide emulsions, etc.
