After the best experimental conditions were identified for the production of ethyl esters in one single stage, the corresponding ethyl esters were subjected to a second ethanolysis stage at 30 °C for 60 min. In this case, two different experimental procedures were followed. In the first procedure, the second ethanolysis stage was carried out after the ethyl esters were purified by water washing, whereas in the second procedure, water washing was replaced by a treatment with 2 wt% Magnesol® at 65 °C for 20 min with continuous stirring, followed by filtration to completely remove the adsorbent from suspension. In both cases, the second ethanolysis stage was carried out using 50% of the anhydrous ethanol and 50% of the catalyst concentration applied earlier in the first ethanolysis stage.At the end of the second ethanolysis stage, the ethanol was recovered once again by evaporation at 50–60 °C under low pressure and the ethyl esters were separated and washed thoroughly with water at 80 °C. This procedure yielded a clear, light yellow liquid phase that was dehydrated with anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered before any further use.
