MANUFACTURE OF HYDROPHOBIC SILICA

摘要

This invention relates to a process for preparing hydrophobic silicon dioxide which comprises treating silicon dioxide having a surface area of at least 50 m2/g with an organosilicon compound containing from 2 to 4 silicon atoms per molecule, in which at least 2 hydrocarbon radicals are bonded to each silicon atom, and any silicon valences which are not satisfied by hydrocarbon radicals are satisfied by siloxane oxygen atoms and at least one tin compound containing Sn-bonded halogen and/or organic radicals.
