Abstract
For the continuous hydrolysis of organochlorosilane, a reaction system comprising at least three stages of hydrolysis is used. Each stage includes a reactor and a phase separator wherein hydrolysis is effected to form a hydrolysis mixture which is separated into a hydrolyzate and a hydrogen chloride-containing aqueous medium. The separated aqueous medium is circulated to the reactor. The hydrolyzate is conveyed to the reactor of the subsequent stage. The organochlorosilane is fed into the first stage reactor, the aqueous medium containing an amount of water corresponding to the consumption in one stage is fed into one stage reactor from the subsequent stage, and an amount of water corresponding to the consumption in the overall reaction system is fed in the last stage. Then the entire amount of hydrogen chloride generated in multiple stages of hydrolysis is recovered as anhydrous hydrogen chloride from the first stage. The entire amount of the aqueous media separated in the phase separators is retained in the reaction system.
