The invention relates to a method for treating an ammonium halogenide and/or residue containing organic aminhydrohalogenides, produced during the production of an amino-functional organosilane of general formula (I) R2N[(CH2)2NH]z(Z)Si(R″)n(OR′)3-n (Ia), wherein the production of the amino-functional organosilane according to formula (Ia) is based on the conversion of a halogen-functional organosilane of general formula (II) X—Z—Si(R″)n(OR′)3-n (II), with excess ammonia or an organic amine of general formula (III) RNH[(CH2)2NH]zR (III) and subsequently separating and treating the raw product and the resulting residue containing salt. The treatment consists of adding an essentially non-polar organic solvent and an aqueous lye to the residue. The mixture is reacted, subsequently the aqueous phase is separated from the organic phase, the organic solvent contained in the organic phase is removed from said phase and the residual organic phase is recovered.
