The present invention provides a multi-structured internal heat exchange-type distillation column comprising at least an outermost heat exchange section, an intermediate section, and an innermost heat exchange section, in which the innermost heat exchange section is isolated from the intermediate section, the outermost heat exchange section is also isolated from the intermediate section, the outermost heat exchange section and the innermost heat exchange section are in communication with one another through at least two vapor tunnel connecting ports, a channel is formed inside the outermost heat exchange section in such a manner that, in a case where at least one of the vapor tunnel connecting ports serves as an inlet for vapor from the innermost heat exchange section into the outermost heat exchange section, and the other vapor tunnel connecting port serves as an outlet for vapor from the outermost heat exchange section back to the innermost heat exchange section, the vapor can smoothly flow in one-way traffic from the inlet toward the outlet, and either the outermost heat exchange section and the innermost heat exchange section, or the intermediate section, is a rectifying section, and the other is a stripping section. The distillation column of the present invention has excellent efficiency of internal heat exchange.
