As the demand for biodiesel continues to grow, there has been a concerted effort among producers to ensure high-purity products. This is because residual impurities, even after purification, can compromise the fuel's stability, shelf life, and performance. This review provides a comprehensive overview of solvent-aided crystallization (SAC), highlighting its fundamental principles, factors affecting efficiency, and the role of selective solubility in effective purification. SAC is presented as a promising biodiesel purification technique that offers both economic and environmental advantages, including efficient solvent recovery and minimal waste generation, compared to conventional methods. The review also emphasizes the need for stronger policy support and continued research as indispensable mechanisms for advancing the wider adoption and commercialization of SAC as a green purification technology.
