The present disclosure relates to a dividing wall distillation column and a method for refining vinylidene dichloride by using the same and, more specifically, to a dividing wall distillation column capable of refining, in a high purity, vinylidene dichloride from a crude product; and a method for refining vinylidene dichloride by using the same. According to the dividing wall distillation column of the present disclosure and the method for refining vinylidene dichloride by using the same, vinylidene dichloride can be refined, in a high purity, from a crude product having a small amount of vinylidene dichloride and a large quantity of high boiling components, and energy consumption can be reduced more than that in conventional cases.

The present invention provides highly efficient processes for the preparation of chlorinated alkanes. The processes comprise contacting an alkene, halogenated alkene, or combinations thereof, a halogenated methane comprising at least one chlorine atom, at least one solid metallic catalyst, and a ligand forming a reaction mixture in a reactor. The product mixture does not contain a phase transfer catalyst. After a product mixture is formed, various fractions, distillation streams, and effluent streams are separated and/or treated with an aqueous alkaline substance. This treatment removes at least a portion of the metal and through recycling of the heavy fraction, treated product mixture, or combinations thereof, allows for the kinetics of the process to be maintained or increased.
