    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain hydrophobized oxides having a markedly low content of acidic by-products by hydrophobizing pyrolytically obtained metal and/or metalloid oxides, oxide mixture or mixed oxide with a hydrophobizing agent so that the formed oxide may contain dimethylsilyl groups and monomethylsilyl groups in a specified ratio. SOLUTION: Subsequently to the production, an acidic oxide, (e.g. Aerosil) is mixed with a hydrophobizing agent previously vaporized in an evaporator 1 in a conduit 2, and together with steam generated in an evaporator 4 is continuously treated in a fluidized bed 1. The hydrophobization temperature is about 20 to about 800 deg.C, advantageously, about 400 to about 600 deg.C. The hydrophobizing agent used is a halogen-free acyclic siloxane, a monocyclic methylcyclosiloxane mixture D3-D9, advantageously, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane D4. The hydrophobization temperature is controlled so that the ratio of dimethylsilyl groups to monomethylsilyl groups may fall within the range of 100/0 to 50/50. The adherent acid and excessive hydrophobizing agent are removed in a countercurrent fluidized bed 2.
