Process for producing organic products containing silicon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon by the direct reaction between elemental silicon and organic amines

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6716949

A process is disclosed for producing, at a low temperature, a high purity organic reaction product consisting essentially of silicon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon. The process comprises reacting together a particulate elemental high purity silicon with a high purity reactive amine reactant in a liquid state at a temperature of from about 0{degrees} C up to about 300{degrees} C. A high purity silicon carbide/silicon nitride ceramic product can be formed from this intermediate product at a temperature of from about 1200{degrees}--1700{degrees} C for a period from about 15 minutes up to about 2 hours or the organic reaction product may be employed in other chemical uses.
