Abstract
Abstract Silicic acid or silica particles having initially surface-located hydroxyl groups are modified by replacing at least partially the hydroxyl groups by an organic group to impart the particles with emulsion-breaking and foam-destroying properties. Processes for preparing the modified particles are also disclosed.
