Iodine was extracted from kelp ash using a lixiviation process. [42] As with sodium carbonate however, mineral sources eventually supplanted seaweed in iodine production. [43]
After harvest, the seaweed is dried, baled, and sent to the carrageenan manufacturer. There the seaweed is ground, sifted to remove impurities such as sand, and washed thoroughly. After treatment with hot alkali solution (e.g., 5–8% potassium hydroxide), the cellulose is removed from the carrageenan by centrifugation and filtration.

Their protein content is low and their heavy metal content is high, especially for arsenic and iodine, which are respectively toxic and nutritious. [37] [38] They are valued for fish production. [39] Adding seaweed to livestock feed can substantially reduce methane emissions from cattle, [40] but only from their feedlot emissions. As of 2021 ...
Reduced disease severity was noted at 10 and 20 days post-inoculation in comparison to control plants, and the seaweed treatment was found to be more effective at reducing disease pathology than salicylic acid, a known plant protector from biotic and abiotic stresses. [79]
