ACTIVATION OF COPPER-SILICON SLURRIES FOR THE DIRECT SYNTHESIS OF TRIALKOXYSILANES

摘要

Disclosed is an improved process for the slurry phase Direct Synthesis of trialkoxylanes which comprises the activation of copper catalyst and silicon wit h a reducing agent such as hydrogen gas, carbon monoxide or monosilane. Such activat ion affords high, stable reaction rates and selectivities and high silicon overall c onversion especially in alkylated benzene solvents.
