Preflop: Hero is SB with A:h, A:d.
CO calls $0.02, BU raises to $0.09, Hero raises to $0.22, 2 folds, BU calls $0.13.

Flop: ($0.48) J:c, 7:h, 9:c (2 players)

Is there any merit in check shoving the turn?

I really hate this shove. You are not going to get called by anything you beat. You are either folding out a weaker hand like AJ, or getting called with no outs. The turn makes a flush, and a straight. Either fold turn or call it down, shoving here has no value, the very best you can have for is him having AK with the ace of clubs.

Do you really think that AJ will fold once we check turn and he bets a so large on the turn?

Yes I do, he still has half his stack behind at this point and you show a lot of strength with a shove here. In fact, AJ would be an instafold for me here, only considering a call if the ace was a club. Your 3-bet PF means there's a pretty good chance the king hit you. Other than the king beating my jack, there is now a flush out there as well as multiple straight possibilities. There is no way someone would call of an entire stack on this board with AJ.

Reverse positions here for a second, and ask yourself what kind of a hand you would call the turn shove with. AJ should not be on that list.

You are folding out a jack or possible even a paired 9, as well as someone floating you. But there are so many hands in his range that have you drawing dead here that this shove seems extremely -EV, at least in my humble opinion. All you have is an overpair. Overvaluing aces postflop can be very costly, and this is exactly the type of board where you should really consider whether or not you want to put your whole stack in the middle.

bet fold or check fold turn in my opinion.

i think i prefer check folding tbh, that's the worst turn card in the world for you.

As played as he's only bet 1/2 pot i probably call the turn and snap c/f river.
But i think this turn is quite marginal between calling his half pot bet and folding.
