Flow diagram of the two-stage vacuum distillation of spent liquor for GVL recovery (recovery scheme 2), showing the distribution of the main components into the product streams. The mass balance is based on 100 g of spent liquor. The mass balance of single-stage vacuum distillation (recovery scheme 1) is also included in the first half of the diagram, before the second lignin precipitation by the addition of water.
