Oil spill in sea water is the most frequent and significant problem of marine pollution. As an early detection sensor of the pollution, an activated carbon coated quartz crystal is prepared and examined for its performance of detection sensitivity and stability. Powdered activated carbon and phenol resin is coated on the surface of the sensor and the sensor is baked for an hour. Adsorption of acetone dissolved in water and salt water is measured using frequency shift of quartz crystal at different concentrations of solute material. The outcome indicates that the sensor preparation is adequate and the measurement of solute concentration is stable and sensitive enough to be implemented on the monitoring of solute concentration is stable and sensitive enough to be implemented in the monitoring of organic pollution of sea water.

해양에서의 기름유출이 가장 빈번하고 심각한 해양 오염이다. 이러한 오염의 초기 발견을 위한 센서로서 수정진동자의 표면에 활성탄을 도포한 센서의 측정감도와 안정성을 시험하고자 한다. 분말 활성탄과 페놀 수지를 센서의 표면에 도포하고 약1시간 가열하여 성형하였다. 물과 소금용액에 아세톤을 각각 소량 용해하여 유사 오염해수를 만들고 서로 다른 농도의 용액에서 공진주파수를 측정하여 아세톤 농도를 계산하였다. 실험결과를 고려할 때 센서의 제작이 적절하였고 아세톤 농도의 측정이 안정하며 충분히 예민하여 해수의 유기물 오염 측정에 사용할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor system for the detection of odorants, especially environmental pollutant, has been constructed by depositing various phospholipids, activated carbon and lead compound pigment onto the surface of the QCM. The characteristics of a QCM operating at 9 MHz deposited with phosphatidyl- choline were analysed. An explanation is given for different odorant affinities based on the monolayer properties of phospholipids. The identification of odorants is discussed in terms of a comparison of their normalized resonant frequency shift patterns and relative response intensities calculated from the response areas. Applying the lead compound pigment coated QCM, it was possible to detect sulfur compound specifically. Using a number of different lipid-coated QCMs, odorants could be identified by comparing the response patterns.
