Abstract
A process of producing silver halide grains by disposing a mixer outside of a reaction vessel for causing a nucleus formation and/or a crystal growth of silver halide grains and containing an aqueous protective colloid solution. The process further includes the steps of: supplying an aqueous solution of a water-soluble silver salt, an aqueous solution of a water-soluble halide(s), and an aqueous solution of a protective colloid to the mixer while controlling the flow rates of the solutions; mixing them while controlling the rotational speed of a stirring blade of the mixer to form fine, silver halide grains; and immediately supplying the fine grains into the reaction vessel to perform the nucleus formation and/or the crystal growth of the silver halide grains in the reaction vessel. The silver halide fine grains thus formed in the mixer are quickly diluted with a liquid withdrawn from the reaction vessel and then the diluted mixture is supplied to the reaction vessel.
