Fine particle silicon containing surface-bound halogen, a process for

Metallic silicon for the Rochow-Synthesis is reduced to particles measuring at least 5 mm in their smallest dimension and 15 mm in their largest dimension, cooling the silicon from a temperature of at least 700.degree. C. to at most 120.degree. C. within a maximum of 2 seconds, and then ground and reacted.

Process for the preparation of organochlorosilanes

This invention relates to a process for the preparation of organosiloxanes, in particular those containing a high proportion of low molecular weight cyclic and chain structured organosiloxanes, preferably cyclic dimethylsiloxanes, by hydrolysis of the corresponding organochlorosilanes, in which a high proportion of gaseous hydrogen chloride is formed at the same time.

Process for the preparation of organosiloxanes

A process for the preparation of alkylhalogenosilanes by reaction of silicon with an alkyl halide in the presence of a copper catalyst and promoter substances, the improvement wherein gaseous phosphorus compounds are admixed, as promotor substances, with the stream of alkyl halide.

Process for the preparation of alkylhalogenosilanes

In the production of organochlorosilanes by reaction of silicon with an alkyl- and/or arylchloride in the presence of a copper catalyst and, optionally, promoter elements, the improvement wherein the silicon has been atomized with an inert gas, has a particle size of less than about 1000 .mu.m, by weight has an Al content of about 0.05 to 0.38%, a Ca content of about 0.02 to 0.2% and an Fe content of about 0.25 to 0.55%.

Process for the production of organochlorosilanes

In the production of an organochlorosilane by reaction of silicon or a silicon alloy with an alkyl or aryl chloride in the presence of a copper catalyst, the improvement which comprises employing the silicon or alloy in atomized form.
