A process for the continuous production of hydrophobic silica is disclosed. The process may include mixing hydrophilic silica with silicone in a mixer thereby forming a mixture. The process may also include heating the mixture in a reactor thereby forming a hydrophobic silica. The hydrophobic silica may be formed continuously by providing the hydrophilic silica and the silicone. A system for the continuous production of hydrophobic silica is also disclosed. The system may include a mixer for mixing the hydrophilic silica and silicone. The system may also include a reactor for heating the hydrophilic silica and the silicone comprising a channel having a plurality of heating zones, wherein the reactor is in fluid communication with the mixer. The system may also include a storage receptacle for storing the hydrophobic silica, wherein the storage receptacle is in fluid communication with the reactor. The system may be configured for the continuous production of the hydrophobic silica by varying the amounts of hydrophilic silica and silicone provided to the mixer.
