Abstract
Abstract In this work, the solvent‐exchange crystallization processes of beta‐alanine in mixture of isopropanol and water on solid surfaces are reported. As the antisolvent isopropanol displaces the alanine solution pre‐filled in a microchamber, liquid–liquid phase separation occurs at the mixing front. The alanine‐rich subphase forms surface microdroplets that subsequently crystallize with during the solvent exchange. It is found that the flow rates and solid surfaces have significant influence on the droplet size, growth rate, and crystal size and morphology. At fast flow rates, the droplets solidify rapidly, forming spherical‐cap structures resembling the shape of droplets, in contrast to crystal microdomains or thin films formed at slow flow rates. On a highly hydrophilic surface, the crystals form thin film without droplets formation. It is further demonstrated that by the solvent exchange, the crystals, generated by using a stock solution with a very low concentration of the precursor, can be used as seeds to facilitate crystallization in bulk solution. The results suggest that the solvent exchange has the potential to be an effective approach for controlling oiling‐out crystallization, and to be wider applied in, such as, separation and purification of many food, medical, and therapeutic ingredients.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
