You need to provide more information...way too vague. If you have an acid and an ester, you can extract the ester into EtOAc. The acid will go into the aqueous layer. Wash the organic layer with sat. K2CO3 to remove any acid which may have gone into the organic layer.
There are many ways to purify compounds. Your question is too vague to get specific answers.

In general you can islolate an ester by using an acid and an alcohol as the reagents. The easiest technique would be heating it under reflux for a specific amount of time.

How can you isolate the ester from what? To what specific ester do you refer?
