Iron, aluminium and titanium free silicon tetrachloride or a mixture thereof with silicochloroform and/or dichlorosilane is prepared by the continuous reaction of lumpy ferrosilicon with chlorine or hydrogen chloride in a closed reactor which has a support for the ferrosilicon as well as means for supplying the halogenation agent in its lower portion and has a ferrosilicon supply and reaction gas exit in its upper portion. The temperature in the top space of the reactor is held below the sublimation temperature of ferric chloride by spraying in liquid chlorosilane and the reaction gas, in a given case by way of a cyclone, is supplied to a washer pressurized with liquid chlorosilane; the mixture of gas, liquid and solid leaving this washer is introduced directly into a separator for liquid and solid laden with liquid chlorosilane, the separated gas lead through a washing column pressurized with pure chlorosilane and finally pure chlorosilane is condensed out.
