Quartz crystal microbalance used for determination of dyes from wastewaters

The dyes resulted from textile industry are pollutants from POPs category which are responsible for wastewaters color and other environmental problems. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) allows the determination of dyes concentration values due to the high sensitivity of resonant crystal frequency. The obtained experimental results lead to the conclusion that the QCM method can be successfully used to obtain an accurate quantitative and qualitative analysis of dyes in wastewaters in real time.
