The invention relates to a method for preparing bioethanol by utilizing 
kelp processing waste. The method comprises the following steps: firstly cleaning the 
kelp processing waste, homogenizing, sterilizing and preparing p pretreatment liquid; further carrying out 
hydrolysis saccharification on the pretreatment liquid: adding activated 
trichoderma viride 
fermentation liquid according to the volume ratio of 5-20% or / and adding 
cellulase according to the weight-volume ratio of 0.5-1g / L for carrying out the 
hydrolysis saccharification on the pretreatment liquid, wherein the temperature for the 
hydrolysis saccharification is 45-55 DEG C, the pH is 5-7 and the time is 36-48h; further adding well activated 
saccharomyces cerevisiae zymocyte into liquid after the hydrolysis saccharification according to the volume ratio of 10-20% for 
fermentation, and preparing 
ethanol, wherein the 
fermentation temperature is 25-35 DEG C, the pH is 4-6 and the fermentation time is 50-60h; and carrying out liquid-
solid separation on the fermentation liquid after the fermentation is finished, and evaporating out the 
ethanol from supernatant fluid in the reduced pressure 
distillation method. The method has simple process and low cost, and can not only solve the environmental 
pollution problem of the 
kelp processing waste, but also provide a new material source for large-scale production of the 
ethanol and promote the development of marine 
biomass energy.
