Abstract
An improved silver halide precipitation process of preparing a dispersion of silver halide grains is disclosed. The process comprises forming a radiation-sensitive silver halide dispersion by reacting silver and halide salts in solution within a dispersing medium to form silver halide grain nuclei within the dispersing medium and allowing silver halide grain growth to occur in a reaction vessel in which the silver halide grain nuclei and the dispersing medium are present. The improvement comprises, during silver halide grain growth, withdrawing a portion of the dispersing medium from the reaction vessel through an ultrafiltration membrane while retaining the silver halide grains within the dispersing medium remaining within the reaction vessel.
