The invention discloses an on-line detection method for volatile organic compounds in
waste gas, and belongs to the field of
waste gas emission monitoring, the detection method comprises the following specific steps: I, starting a
quantum cascade laser frequency comb of a
middle infrared band, calibrating various parameters of the
quantum cascade laser frequency comb, and ensuring to cover a characteristic absorption area of the volatile organic compounds in the
waste gas; iI, inputting the waste gas into a gas detection chamber through a sampling pipeline, monitoring the state of the waste gas in real time, and dynamically adjusting the conditions of the gas detection chamber according to various collected signals; the device can capture instantaneous fluctuation of waste
gas concentration in real time, meets the high-speed dynamic emission monitoring requirement, has extremely high coherence and narrow linewidth, can analyze tiny
spectral line differences which cannot be distinguished by a traditional
spectrograph, remarkably improves the detection precision and the recognition capability, ensures that a measurement result still keeps consistency and high reliability under different working conditions, and is suitable for large-scale popularization and application. The
signal-to-
noise ratio is obviously improved, the power drift is reduced, and long-time stable operation is realized.
