Abstract (en)

There is disclosed a method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, which comprises after subjecting a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material exposed to light imagewise, to color-development, bleaching the light-sensitive material, wherein the bleaching is carried out using a bleaching solution containing an iron(III) complex salt of an aminopolycarboxylic acid compound of the formula (I): <CHEM> wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group, L1 and L2 each represent an alkylene group, and M1 and M2 each represent a hydrogen atom or a cation, with the replenishment being made with a bleaching replenisher (2), and wherein after the overflow (6) from a bleaching bath (4) resulting from the replenishment is regenerated with a bleaching-solution-regenerating agent (13) in an amount smaller than the amount of the color developer, per square meter of the light-sensitive material to be processed, carried into the bleaching bath from a color-developing bath, the overflow is used as the bleaching replenisher (2). According to this method, when a regenerated bleaching solution is used, stain and fogging are suppressed, bubbling at the time of regeneration is suppressed, the efficiency of the regeneration operation is improved, and a bleaching solution can be regenerated and used without impairing the bleaching performance, with the load on the environment reduced. <IMAGE>
