Recycling is the most effective way to dispose of waste polymer materials. It can not only reduce the harm of polymer materials to the natural environment, but also achieve the purpose of saving cost and turning waste into treasure. A self-made melt differential electrospinning device was used to recover the degraded polypropylene (PP) non-woven fabric as a raw material, and the special powder for recycling and degrading PP non-woven fabric after acid treatment and adding different plasticizers with a mass fraction of 10%. A blend of materials of sodium stearate, acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), and dioctyl adipate (DOA) was spun, and a nanofiber membrane was prepared at 300 ℃. The optimum degradation time of PP nonwoven fabric spinning and the effect of adding different plasticizers on the morphology, oil absorption performance and reusability of PP-degraded non-woven fabric nanofibers were investigated. Studies have shown that the addition of plasticizer ATBC works best. When the spinning voltage is 40 kV, the spinning distance is 70 mm, the spinning temperature is 300 ℃, and the ATBC mass fraction is 10%, the fiber diameter is as fine as 1.13 μm. The fiber membrane oil absorption ratio is 115.4 g/g, and the oil retention ratio is 70.3 g/g, which are 4 times and 3 times that of the initially commercially available PP nonwoven fabric, and has good reusability.
