Simplified Text Version of Platinum Processing Flow and Passive Processing Methods

Author: @s6014770

First, attached is the complete flowchart of 铂处 from the group; just edit directly wherever there are places that need optimization.

If you just want the results, jump straight to Part 1 and Part 4.

1. Raw Material Acquisition

Most compounds rely on requesters to generate samples, while some elements have complete cycles and only require proper recycling.

Nitric Acid: If the End is unlocked, you can collect nitric acid directly in the End using an HV Air Purifier; otherwise, use a Requestor to maintain stock.

Sulfuric Acid: Similarly, use an air purifier in the Nether

Hydrochloric Acid: Requester, chlorine + hydrogen. Hydrochloric acid is needed elsewhere, so it pays to stock up.

Obtaining Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Chlorine: You can just run small steam centrifuges continuously for nitrogen and oxygen; for hydrogen, use one electrolyzer to electrolyze water; for gaseous chlorine, use an evaporation tower (you can also obtain sodium hydroxide simultaneously).

Other materials:

Potassium pyrosulfate, soda ash powder, sodium nitrate, sodium chlorate powder, nitrogen dioxide, formic acid, ammonium chloride: You can use the requester to prepare the sample. Note that the byproduct sodium sulfate from formic acid can be recovered via electrolysis

Salt: It's produced and used in large quantities, so there shouldn't be a shortage

Calcium Powder: Only required for Platinum Powder; fully recovered via electrolysis of calcium chloride

Sulfur Powder: Some locations consume sulfur and it cannot be fully recycled. If you are short on it, get it from mines, or craft Centrifugal Blaze Powder (EV tier, slaughterhouses should have them, right?)

Zinc powder: Can be fully recovered from electrolytic zinc sulfate powder

2. Linear Organization of Text

The Platinum Series has six initial products, and some steps will also produce these initial products

1. Platinum slag powder, yields 6

1.1 High-temperature reaction: Add 6 platinum slag powder, 11 potassium pyrosulfate, 1 oxygen, producing 5 platinum leaching residue, 0.5 gaseous rhodium sulfate, 7 potassium sulfate powder (electrolytic recovery) (This step consumes 4 oxygen and 1 sulfur)

1.1.1 High-temperature reaction: Add 11 soda ash powder and 3 oxygen to 40 platinum leaching residue, producing 20 rare metal mixture, 21 sodium ruthenate and 3 carbon monoxide (electrolytic recovery) (Sodium-carbon conservation applies in this step) (This line ends; the rest will be covered in inert metal and rare metal processing)

1.2 Reactor: Gaseous rhodium sulfate turns into rhodium sulfate when water is added

1.3 Dehydrator process: Add zinc to rhodium sulfate to produce crude rhodium metal powder and zinc sulfate powder (recovered via electrolysis)

1.4 High-temperature reaction: Crude rhodium metal powder, add salt and gaseous chlorine to produce rhodium salt powder

4. Specific Passive Implementation Methods

Requires a Reactor, Large Chemical Reactor, and Distillation Tower. No need to craft new ones; just use the ones you already have.

1. Distillation Column

It is recommended to use an ME Input Bus (or Precision Export Bus) — this is also needed for woodworking. You can mark multiple items without worrying about residual liquid clogging the input. Mark heated ruthenium tetroxide, dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute sulfuric acid, and acidic osmium solution.

2. High-temperature Reaction

Assuming your reactor is also used for producing titanium ingots and other items, and your pattern provider is facing one input assembly, enable isolation on the original input assembly (though it's not necessary, as reactors rarely mix recipes).

Add two more input assemblies, isolation is optional, enable input restriction. Install the AE output bus.

First marker platinum slag powder, potassium pyrosulfate, platinum leaching residue, soda ash powder, crude rhodium metal powder, salt, gaseous chlorine, oxygen

Second marker inert metal, sodium nitrate, rare metal mixture, iridium metal slag, sodium chlorate powder, hydrogen, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid

3. Large Chemical Reaction Kettle

Same as above: add 3 input assemblies to the large chemical reaction setup, fully enable isolation and input restrictions. (Actually, the only substance that needs isolation is hydrogen)

First marker: gaseous rhodium sulfate, rhodium salt solution, sodium nitrate powder, oxygen, nitrogen dioxide, water

Second mark reprecipitation: rhodium powder, crude palladium powder, crude platinum powder, calcium powder, sodium ruthenate, chlorine, ruthenium tetroxide powder, iridium dioxide powder, formic acid, hydrochloric acid

The third marker: acidic iridium, ammonium chloride, iridium chloride, osmium tetroxide powder, hydrogen

4. Other Simple Steps

Most output buses that can be directly AE'd. It is recommended to use the previous MV and HV small machines. If the machine is still used for prototype synthesis, pay attention to whether residues will cause blockages. If there is a universal factory, add an input assembly.
