Abstract: A continuous method of producing .gamma.-aminopropyltrialkoxysilanes as well as mixtures of primary and secondary aminosilanes by reacting .gamma.-chloropropyltrialkoxysilane with ammonia is disclosed. The steps are:a) .gamma.-chloropropyltrialkoxysilane and ammonia are first mixed in the desired amount ratio,b) this mixture is heated to the reaction temperature,c) allowed to run through a pressure reactor with a dwell time sufficient for the complete reaction, during which the mixture can run through several temperature zones,d) the reaction mixture is subsequently cooled off,e) the product (.gamma.-aminopropyltrialkoxysilanes or the mixtures) is separated out of a two-phase mixture andf) the ammoniacal phase returned into the reactor.

Abstract: Disclosed are shaped organosiloxane polycondensates in the form of macroscopic spherical particles with a diameter of 0.01 to 2.5 mm, a specific surface area of 0.01 to 1000 m.sup.2 /g, a specific pore volume of 0.01 to 5 ml/g, and a bulk density of 50 to 1000 g/l, consisting of units of the formula (I):X--R.sup.1 (I)and/or the formula (II):R.sup.2 --Y--R.sup.3 (II)and the formula (III): ##STR1## as well as optionally, in addition, units of the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.3 are identical or different and represent a group of the formula (V): ##STR3## R.sup.4 being bonded directly to the X or Y group and representing a linear or branched, fully saturated or unsaturated alkylene group, a cycloalkylene group, a phenylene group or a unit of the formula ##STR4## and M corresponding to a Si, Ti or Zr atom. Also disclosed are a process for preparation and use.

Abstract: Organosiloxane amine copolycondensates as statistic or block copolycondensates or mixtures thereof consisting of the units ##STR1## andX--R.sup.4 (II)in which R.sup.1 to R.sup.4 is ##STR2## and R.sup.5 is bound directly to the nitrogen atom or the single-bonding X group and is alkylene, cycloalkylene or ##STR3## in which n is 1 to 6 and m 0 to 6. The free valences of the oxygen atoms bound to the silicon atom are saturated by silicon atoms of further groups of formula III, optionally with the inclusion of cross-linking agents, X stands for ##STR4## in which R" is H or alkyl. In addition, preparation methods and the use of the products for the removal of dissolved metals from the liquid phase or for the adsorption of gaseous compounds.

Abstract: R.sup.4 --Si(OR).sub.3R.sup.4 =alkylene, cycloalkylene or an entity of the formula: ##STR2## whereby n=1-6, R=alkyl containing C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 and R.sup.3 =R.sup.2 or H. A method of preparing these compounds is also disclosed.

Abstract: Organopolysiloxanes are described with the same or different units of the formula:(O.sub.3/2 Si-R.sup.1 -SO.sub.3.sup.-).sub.x M.sup.x+ (1)in which R.sup.1 is alkyl, x is dependent on M and signifies a number from 1 to 4 and M represents hydrogen or a mono- to tetravalent metal ion and the valences of the oxygen atoms are saturated by silicon atoms of other groups of the formula (1), optionally by inserting cross-linking silicon, titanium or aluminum compounds and/or by di-, tri- and tetrasulfide units of the formula: ##STR1## in which the substituents R.sup.1 have the same meaning as in (1) and can be the same or different, wherein the ratio of the sum of silicon atoms in (1) and (2) to the silicon, titanium and aluminum atoms of the cross-linking agent ranges from 1:0 to 1:10. Furthermore, the method of obtaining the organopolysiloxanes containing sulphonate groups and the use thereof as strongly acidic cation exchangers are described.
