Abstract
A new artemisinin sustained-release particle (ASP) was developed that significantly inhibits Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) growth. The physical and chemical properties of ASPs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetry (DSC-TG). The results demonstrated that ASPs are thermally stable and have sustained-release properties. On the sixth day, the ASPs (0.2g L-1) inhibited M. aeruginosa with an inhibition rate (IR) greater than 70%. Additionally, ASPs inhibited M. aeruginosa without increasing microcystin-LR release (MC-LR). This research offers a novel approach to the management of cyanobacterial blooms.
