Short summary
A novel experimental set-up based on piezoelectric crystal microbalances has been used to monitor the sublimation processes concerning some volatile organic compounds present in the terrestrial atmosphere. The experimental set-up has been developed and tested on dicarboxylic acids. By means of the molecular flux, it has been possible to infer the enthalpy of sublimation of oxalic, succinic, adipic and azelaic acid. The results obtained are in very good agreement with previous works.
