Method for recovering volatile compounds other than water from the atmosphere, in particular a vacuum atmosphere, in which materials containing volatile compounds are manufactured, handled, stored or used. First, the water vapor in the atmosphere (1) is extracted, preferably by adsorption (4, 5), which atmosphere is then cooled until the condensation (12, 24) of the volatile compounds, preferably in two stages, the first being a cooling stage using a heat pump. The condensed volatile compounds are extracted. |
