Graphycal Abstract: The efficiency of removing glycerol, soaps, and unconverted acylglycerols from crude fatty acid ethyl esters by different techniques was evaluated. The proposed purification scheme allows for obtaining a product that meets the quality indicators of EN 14214 and can be used as a biodiesel fuel component.
