Abstract: A targeted molecular weight of an organopolysiloxane is obtained in a two stage hydrolysis by hydrolyzing a chlorosilane with from 0.002 to 0.6 mol of water in a first step in the presence of alcohol, in which the pressure and/or temperature are adjusted such that following further hydrolysis in a second step, the targeted molecular weight is obtained.

Abstract: Organopolysiloxanes with consistent product properties are prepared while minimizing alcohol usage in the hydrolysis of chlorosilanes by use of a vertical continuous loop reactor having a heating unit on an ascending side of the loop which is regulated such that the temperature of the reactant mixture is within ±5° C. of a set value.

Abstract: Mixtures containing high boiling and low boiling components, at least one component being dissociatable into ions, are separated effectively by heating by passing an alternating electrical current through the mixture. The process is particularly effective in the workup of crude alkylchlorosilanes from the direct synthesis.
