The invention discloses a method for producing
sodium alginate and co-producing
ethanol and a seaweed
organic fertilizer. The method comprises the following steps of: with
brown algae kelp serving as a
raw material, pre-
processing through
cellulase and compound
protease in an enzymolysis manner; decomposing
cellulose in the
kelp into microbially available
monosaccharide and
oligosaccharide in order to ferment to produce
ethanol; preparing the seaweed
organic fertilizer through the rest
fermentation broth with little
kelp residue; extracting and separating
sodium alginate from the pre-processed kelp; and then performing a dilute alkali
digestion technology and a
calcium coagulating-
ion exchange method to obtain high-quality
sodium alginate. According to the method, the preprocessing is performed through bio-
enzyme, and the main components, namely,
cellulose,
protein and the like in the kelp, are separated in advance through the
cellulose and
protease, thus high extraction rate of the
sodium alginate is grained; simultaneously, wastes generated in
processing are utilized to prepare a fuel, namely,
ethanol; and the waste liquid and waste residues remained in ethanol preparation are utilized to prepare the seaweed
organic fertilizer, therefore, high-valued utilization of the kelp is realized, and marine
biomass energy is developed.
