The invention relates to a process for treating elemental silicon and ferrosilicon with slag having the following analytical composition:

Process for treating silicon and ferrosilicon with slag

This invention relates to a process for preparing tetrafluoroethyloxyalkyl silanes by the addition of silanes containing Si-bonded hydrogen to tetrafluoroethyl-alkenylether in a tubular reactor in which the reaction mixture containing an excess of silanes is recycled at a rate of at least 10 meters per minute.

Process for preparing tetrafluoroethyloxyalkyl silanes

A continuous process for preparing silanes and siloxanes having SiOC groups which comprises (a) introducing in a liquid phase a chlorosilane and a hydroxyl-containing aliphatic compound in parallel flow into a first stage of a first reactor in an amount such that from 0.5 to 0.9 gram-mole of hydroxyl group is present per gram-atom of Si-bonded chlorine; (b) removing the liquid reaction mixture from the first reactor; (c) introducing the reaction mixture at the head of a column used as the second reactor which is maintained at an elevated temperature; (d) adding a hydroxyl-containing aliphatic compound as a gas at the lower end of the column or at a point between the lower end and the upper end of the lower one-third of the column, in an amount at least sufficient to completely react with the Si-bonded chlorine present in the reaction mixture obtained from the first stage and (e) removing the silane containing SiOC groups or polysiloxane containing SiOC groups from the column at a point below the point of addition of the hydroxyl-containing aliphatic compound.

Continuous process for preparing silanes and siloxanes having SiOC groups

A process for the addition of Si-bonded hydrogen to an aliphatic multiple bond in the presence of a platinum catalyst which is obtained by dissolving a platinum halide in at least 20 parts by weight of olefin for each part by weight of the platinum halide, and subsequently heating and mixing the solution obtained with from 0.5 to 1 mole of a primary and/or secondary amine for each gram atom of platinum.

Process for the addition of Si-bonded hydrogen to an aliphatic multiple

This invention relates to the preparation of organosilicon compounds by the addition of a silicon compound containing Si-bonded hydrogen to a compound having an aliphatic multiple bond in the presence of a catalyst which promotes the addition of Si-bonded hydrogen to compounds containing an aliphatic multiple bond. In this process the reactants and the catalyst are continuously introduced into a pipe-shaped reactor while the contents of the reactor, which are maintained in a liquid phase by the application of pressure are circulated in the reactor at a rate of at least 1,000 cm per minute and while the reaction mixture is continuously being removed from the reactor.

Process for the preparation of organosilicon compounds

A method for utilizing a residue containing elemental silicon in the form of particles having a maximum diameter of 50 microns which comprises heating the residue for at least 15 hours at a temperature of from 100.degree. to 350.degree. C. in the presence of atmospheric air and/or an inert gas and thereafter recycling the treated residue into a process for preparing halosilanes.

Method for reactivating a residue containing elemental silicon

A process of melting down and purifying silicon, which comprises melting silicon in at least half of the amount up to double of the amount of a silicate melt heated by resistance heating up to a temperature of at least 1,420.degree. C., said melt consisting of 2-30% by weight of calcium oxide, 5-35% by weight of magnesium oxide, wherein the sum of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide will be 15-38% by weight, 0.5-28% by weight of aluminum oxide and 45-70% by weight of silicon dioxide, and wherein, to the melt are added at least 0.29% by weight of elementary and/or chemically bound copper, preferably 0.50-3% by weight, calculated on the silicon amount.
