Abstract
Abstract Process for the disproportionation of a chlorosilicon hydride which comprises contacting it with an ion exchange resin containing tertiary amino or quaternary ammonium group bonded therein. There is described a cyclic process in which a fixed bed of the resin may be employed.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
The cyclic continuous process for the disporportionation of one or more of trichlorosilane, dichlorosilane and monochlorosilane which comprises continually feeding such chlorosilane to a water-dried fixed bed of a divinylbenzene-styrene copolymer based macroreticulated anion exchange resin containing tertiary amino or quaternary ammonium groups thereof in the chloride ionic form, said groups being bonded to the resin through carbon, which resin is insoluble in silane, monochlorosilane, dichlorosilane, trichlorosilane and silicon tetrachloride, and is maintained at a temperature of between 0.° C. to 350° C. for a period of time whereby there is formed in the bed a silane containing less chlorine than is contained in the chlorosilane fed to the bed and there is also formed a silane containing more chlorine than the chlorosilane fed to the bed, at least a portion of said silanes formed by disproportionation in the bed are removed therefrom and at least a portion thereof are separated each from the other and each is recovered and the chlorosilane feed which is not disproportionated is recycled to the fixed bed.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the feed to the bed is trichlorosilane and the disproportionated products include dichlorosilane and silicon tetrachloride.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the disproportionated products contain silane and silicon tetrachloride.
