The concentration of these materials in the aqueous condensate is enriched by steam stripping and results in a gas stream which typically contains about 40-55 wt. % methanol, 2-8 wt. % higher alcohols, such as ethanol and isopropanol, 2-8 wt. % ketones, including methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone and acetone, 1-3 wt. % reduced sulfur compounds including hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercap
