Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
50 words
An improved process for equilibrating organosiloxanes by reacting organosiloxanes with chlorosilanes in the presence of a catalyst, the improvement which consists essentially of conducting the equilibration reaction in the presence of a catalyst selected from the class consisting of (a) activated charcoal and (b) activated charcoal and an inorganic acid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
50 words
An improved process for equilibrating organosiloxanes by reacting organosiloxanes with chlorosilanes in the presence of a catalyst, the improvement which consists essentially of conducting the equilibration reaction in the presence of a catalyst selected from the class consisting of (a) activated charcoal and (b) activated charcoal and an inorganic acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
The improved process of claim 1, wherein the organosiloxanes are cyclic siloxanes having the formula: (R.sub.2 SiO).sub.n in which R may be the same or different and is selected from the class consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, halogenated hydrocarbon radicals and hydrogen with the provision that no more than one hydrogen atom is bonded to each silicon atom; and n is a whole number of from 3 to 10.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
65 words
The improved process of claim 1, wherein the organosiloxanes have the general formula: R.sub.3 SiO(R.sub.2 SiO).sub.m SiR.sub.3, in which R may be same or different and is selected from the class consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, halogenated hydrocarbon radicals and hydrogen with the provision that no more than one hydrogen atom is bonded to each silicon atom, and m is 0 or a whole number.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
The improved process of claim 3, wherein the chlorosilanes are represented by the formula: R.sub.x' SiCl.sub.4-x' in which R is the same or different and is selected from the class consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, halogenated hydrocarbon radicals and hydrogen, with the provision that no more than one hydrogen atom is bonded to each silicon atom; and x' is 0, 1 or 2.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The improved process of claim 4, wherein the equilibration is conducted as a continuous process in a reaction column containing a stratum of activated carbon.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
94 words
The improved process of claim 5, wherein the chlorosilane is introduced into the upper portion of the activated charcoal stratum and the organosiloxane having the formula: R.sub.3 SiO(R.sub.2 SiO).sub.m" SiR.sub.3 in which R is selected from the class consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, halogenated hydrocarbon radicals and hydrogen, with the provision that no more than one hydrogen atom is bonded to each silicon atom and m" is 0, 1 or 2; is introduced below the activated charcoal stratum and thereafter the reaction components and reaction products in the reaction column are heated to ebullition.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
The improved process of claim 6, wherein the organosiloxane is introduced in the lower portion of the activated charcoal stratum.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
100 words
The improved process of claim 5, wherein an organosiloxane of the formula: R.sub.3 SiO(R.sub.2 SiO).sub.m"' SiR.sub.3 in which R is selected from the class consisting of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, halogenated hydrocarbon radicals and hydrogen, with the provision that no more than one hydrogen atom is bonded to each silicon atom and m"' is 0 or a whole number of from 1 to 25, is introduced into the upper portion of the activated charcoal stratum while the chlorosilane is introduced into the lower portion of the activated charcoal layer, and thereafter the reaction components and reaction products are heated to ebullition.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
16 words
The improved process of claim 8, wherein the chlorosilane is introduced below the activated charcoal stratum.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
36 words
The improved process of claim 6, wherein the addition of the organosiloxane to the reaction column is controlled by a device which is regulated by the prevailing temperature in the lower one-third of the reaction column.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
36 words
The improved process of claim 8, wherein the addition of the chlorosilane to the reaction column is controlled by a device which is regulated by the prevailing temperature in the lower one-third of the reaction column.
