Patent ID: 8420844

Claim:
A batch or continuous process for producing organosilanes, organohalosilanes, organoalkoxysilanes, and/or organosiloxanes by hydrosilylating gaseous unsaturated hydrocarbons, which comprises: (a) feeding unsaturated gaseous hydrocarbon (Reagent A) to a reaction zone having a jet eductor and feeding silane (Reagent B) and/or siloxane (Reagent C) containing at least one silicon-bonded hydrogen atom to said reaction zone wherein said Reagent A and said Reagent B and/or Reagent C are contacted with a liquid reaction medium containing a hydrosilylation catalyst and a solvent wherein said liquid reaction medium is pumped through the jet educator nozzle to form a gas-in-liquid dispersion with said Reagent A and said Reagent B and/or Reagent C and to initiate a hydrosilylation reaction, (b) conducting the gas-in-liquid dispersion to a plug flow gas bubble reaction zone and maintaining gas velocities below 5 centimeters per second for completion of the hydrosilylation reaction to form a hydrosilation reaction product; and (c) recovering said hydrosilation reaction product from said plug flow gas bubble reaction zone.
