Polystyrene (PS) dissolved in dichloromethane was spun to prepare the nanofibrous polystyrene membranes (NPS) through solution blow spinning with a commercialized airbrush. The influences of spinning conditions on the membrane morphology, density, and porosity were investigated. Through varying the PS concentration (8%, 9%, 10%), gas pressure (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 MPa), and acceptance distance (10, 12, 15, 18 cm), NPS with diameters of 200–1400 nm were prepared. The membranes had high porosity of 83.9%, and super-hydrophobic and super-oleophilic surface. The oil absorbency to motor oil, peanut oil, diesel oil, and heavy oil was 29.35, 27.27, 21.81, and 22.80 g/g, respectively, while that of the commercialized nonwoven polypropylene was 9.34, 9.17, 7.09, and 7.79 g/g, respectively. NPS could separate oil from water surface in several seconds. It was easy to prepare the membrane in situ on the surface of an oil/water mixture and remove the oil while peeling off the membrane, indicating NPS is potential as oil recovery material in large-area oil pollution environment.
