Abstract: Described herein is a polymeric stabilizing agent selected from poly-lysine derivatives obtained by process including heating an aqueous lysine solution to boiling, increasing a temperature of the aqueous lysine solution to a reaction temperature in the range of about 105° C. to about 180° C., and keeping the reaction temperature in the range of about 105° C. to about 180° C. until a melt viscosity of the reaction mixture is in the range of about 350 mPa*s to about 6,500 mPa*s, and (ii) an amine number in the range of about 100 mg KOH/g to about 500 mg KOH/g is achieved. The process also includes adding alkyl-carboxylic acid or alkenyl-carboxylic acid in amounts of 2.5 mol % to 10 mol %, and increasing or keeping the reaction temperature in the range of about 105° C. to about 180° C. until number of free alkyl-carboxylic acid or alkenyl-carboxylic acid is ?9% by weight.

Abstract: A tank-mix is disclosed herein including a) 1,2-cyclohexandicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester, b) a mixture of anionic surfactants selected from b1) alkylbenzenesulfonates and b2) sulfosuccinate, and c) a nonionic surfactant. A weight % ratio of b1):b2) is 3:1 to 20:1 and a weight % ratio of anionic surfactants to nonionic surfactant is b1)+b2)?c). A spray mix is further disclosed including said tank mix and a pesticide. A process is also disclosed for the preparation of said spray mix; and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesirable plant growth and/or undesirable insect or mite infestation and/or for regulating the growth of plants. The method includes allowing the spray mix to act on the respective pests, the habit thereof or the plants to be protected from the respective pest, on the soil and/or on undesirable plants and/or the crop plants and/or the habitat thereof.

Abstract: A composition having a pesticide and a hydroxyalkyl polyoxylene glycol ether of the general formula (I) where R1 is a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched alkyl having 6 to 18 carbon atoms; R2 is ethylene, propylene, butylene or a mixture thereof; R3 is a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched alkyl having 6 to 18 carbon atoms; and n has a value of from 1 to 100. The composition may be used as an adjuvant in in pesticide-comprising spray mixtures. In a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesirable plant growth and/or undesirable insect or mite infestation and/or for regulating the growth of plants, the composition is allowed to act on the respective pests, the habitat thereof or the plants to be protected from the respective pest, on the soil and/or on undesirable plants and/or the crop plants and/or the habitat thereof. Seed may also include the composition.

Abstract: Interaction between two different species of particles in a fluid stream is promoted by generating turbulent eddies in the fluid stream. The turbulent eddies are designed to be of such size and/or intensity that the two species of particles are entrained into the eddies to significantly different extents. Consequently, the different species of particles follow different trajectories, and the likelihood of collisions or interactions between the particles is increased. Optimum collision rates will occur for a system which maintains a Stokes Number (St) much less than 1 for one species, and or order 1 or greater for the other species. The invention has particular application in air pollution control, by promoting agglomeration of fine pollutant particles in air streams into larger particles to thereby facilitate their subsequent removal from the air streams.

Abstract: Interaction between two different species of particle(s) in a fluid stream is promoted by generating turbulent eddies in a fluid stream. The turbulent eddies are designed to be of such size and/or intensity that the different sized particle(s) are entrained into the eddies to significantly different extents and forced to follow different trajectories, increasing the likelihood of collisions and interactions. Optimum collision rates will occur for a system which maintains a Stokes Number much less than 1 for one sized particle, and or order 1 or greater for the other sized particle. The invention has particular application in air pollution control, whereby agglomeration of fine particles into larger particles is promoted, subsequent to their removal.
