Procedure

Appropriate operating conditions of a dividing wall column will depend on the separation desirably being conducted therein, and those of ordinary skill in the art of chemical engineering are readily able to determine the same. For the exemplary reaction of methyl chloride and perchloroethylene to provide 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene, wherein methyl chloride, methylene chloride, chloroform, perchloroethylene, and 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene are desirably separated, suitable operating conditions for the dividing wall column include a pressure of about 266 psia and temperature of about 91° C. at the feed stream, a pressure of about 63 psia and a temperature of about 16° C. at the overhead, and a pressure of about 68 psia and a temperature of about 186° C. at the column bottom.
