IIt makes sense .
Nothing , if you use something else, you get somethings else
1 enantiomer is not active or not very active, a common theme is drugs, since he's using D dibenzoyl tartaric acid, the D is the active isomer.
D-BENZOYL TARTARIC ACID probably only attaches to D-a-pvp. Such is the case with meth and many chiral chemicals, it is sterically hindered from attaching to the other isomer( the shape of th drugs is such that it blocks the attachment) which makes one isomers a Lewis acid salt ( dissolves in water)and the other is not propagated by the tartaric acid, so remains base, imiscible in water. that's how they are separated
Hexane is just one part of a dual solvent crystallization technique ( the other being dcm)
