Aqua regia water positive?

[Gregorius (Gregorius Techneticies)]

@psusi

If aqua regia were actually 3000L HCL + 1000L HNO3 => 4000L AR ( the correct ratio ) and the bath only used 1 batch instead of two, that is a total of 1700L H, 200L N, 600L O. In game, chlorplatanic acid says it is PtCl6H2, but according to wikipedia, it should be H6Cl6O2Pt. If we output 400L NO, and use the 1500L of Cl, 1500L H, 500L O to make 3500L of chloroplatanic acid, that leaves 200L H and 100L O left to make 300L of H2O.

The electrolyzer then should return the 3000L of HCL and 500L O2. The 400L of NO + 200L O2 would make 600L NO2. 600L of NO2 + 200L water would make 666L nitric acid plus ~133L NO, which when cycled back with some more oxygen should get the nitric acid… hrm… I don’t think that is quite going to reconstitute the original nitric acid… where did I go wrong?

You went wrong the moment you forgot the Material Unit Logic of GregTech. Aqua Regia is 1 part HNO3 and 4 parts HCl, which in GregTech terms is 5 HNO3 and 8 HCl. Also I tend to avoid numbers that end in .333 and similar BS at all costs.

Also there was simply a tiny amount of Water that was outputted too much by that one Bath Recipe with Chloroplatinic Acid.

It outputted 375L of Water too much, which is ⅜th of a Unit of Water, which resulted in slowly building up Hydrogen from said Water at the cost of the 125L of Oxygen that it did not Output at all due to lack of Slots. The Oxygen is still not outputted (lack of Slots), but the Water Amount is now properly adjusted so that no build up happens.
