Abstract: A method for the recovery of sulphur compounds, volatile alcohols such as methanol, as well as by-products such as turpentine and the like, which are formed in connection with pulping, from the blow-expansion condensates from the evaporating series of a digestery, from turpentine mother liquors, or from other liquids in a separate treatment unit. The liquids are treated in a vacuum stripping unit by means of a proportion of secondary steam which is obtained from the last step of a multi-stage evaporating plant. The excess of secondary steam is condensed by means of indirect condensation in a first surface condenser, whose exhaust vapors, together with the vapors leaving the stripping unit and with gases that are to be removed from the evaporating steps, are condensed by means of indirect condensation in a second surface condenser.
