Abstract
Silicic acid heteropolycondensates made from hydrolyzable silicic acid derivatives and substituted silanes, optionally with either or both of one or more functional silanes and non-volatile metal oxides or their precursors are made by a known technique, in which the reaction mixture is hydrolyzed and condensed by the action of water and a condensation catalyst, the latter being employed in an amount up to 3% by weight, based upon the weight of the reaction mixture. Improved heteropolycondensates usable as adsorbents and porous membranes can be made by using greater amounts of catalyst, ranging up to 75% by weight, based upon the weight of the reaction mixture. These improved products are very stable in use and are characterized by a pore structure which includes fine pores and coarse pores, whereby products in the form of membranes can have an asymmetrical structure, if desired.
