Disclosed is a dispersing agent for agrochemicals, said dispersing agent which comprises a modified polyvinyl alcohol-based resin containing a structural unit having a nonionic hydrophilicity group in side chain, and having a saponification degree of 95 mol % or more. The dispersing agent for agrochemicals can provide a dispersion in which a hardly water-soluble agrochemical active ingredient employed for a dispersoid is dispersed in a stable state even in the case where the dispersoid has a relatively large particle size.

The present invention relates to an enantioselective separation of racemic mixtures of amino acids like alanine and leucine using chiral polystyrene microspheres. It provides a simple and efficient separation process by using cost-effective commodity polymer like polystyrene after simple post polymer modifications which involves simple filtration without using any high end chromatographic instrument. The present process provides the preparation of chiral modified protected or deprotected polystyrene powder. The present invention provides a process of preparing the modified polystyrene to form the deprotected polystyrene along with the process of preparation of the modified poly styrene compound in fiber form or microspheres form wherein the change in the morphology is observed from irregular to fibrous upon deprotecting the protected polymer. This process achieves high separation efficiency and % Enantiomeric excess values (% ee) value.

An aqueous liquid medium for analyzing, purifying or separating species in an element having walls or for treating the walls of an element. The medium includes at least a polymer consisting of several polymeric segments. The polymer is of the irregular block-copolymer or irregular comb-like polymer type and has on the average at least three junction points between polymeric segments of different chemical or topological nature. The medium may be used in methods for analyzing, purifying or separating species and methods for treating an element to be contacted with a fluid and/or species contained in the fluid during preservation, transport, analysis, purification or separation of the fluid.
