Algal Inhibiting Effects of Salicylic Acid Sustained-Release Microspheres on Algae in Different Growth Cycles

Sumario: | Microcystis blooms and microcystins caused by eutrophication are harmful to the environment. At present, algicide based on allelochemicals is widely used in algae control. Environment-friendly sustained-release salicylate chitosan microspheres (SA-CS) were prepared by acylation of chitosan and glutaraldehyde. SA-CS was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis, and laser particle sizer. The inhibitory effects of SA-CS on Microcystis aeruginosa at different stages, and the environmental impact of the inorganic index, were studied. The results showed that the mean size of SA-CS was 53.3 μm, the encapsulation rate was 40.66%, and SA-CS had a good sustained-release effect (stable release within 25 days). On the seventh day, a 90% inhibition rate in the lag phase required 105 mg/L of SA-CS, whereas a 90% inhibition rate in the log phase required 675 mg/L of SA-CS. The sensitivity of Microcystis aeruginosa at the lag phase to salicylic acid was about 1.4 times that of the log phase, thus, it is recommended to control the algae in the lag phase. The long-term inhibition effect of SA-CS on algae was detected after adding sufficient SA-CS. In terms of salicylic acid, pH, and dissolved oxygen, no lousy effect was observed for the addition of SA-CS. SA-CS could effectively reduce the concentration of microcystin-LR by 50%. SA-CS is an environment-friendly sustained-release microsphere with good algal inhibition performance for Microcystis aeruginosa. |
