N2 - This study showcases a solar still desalination system that utilizes solar energy to produce freshwater from brackish water. The study examines the impact of incorporating recycled waste as porous media on the traditional solar still's productivity and efficiency. Specifically, spongy materials and crushed rubber granules from discarded tires create a porous bed within the solar still. The study investigates the effects of various types, sizes, thicknesses, and colors of porous materials. The results of the experiments are compared to those of conventional solar still without any porous media. The findings indicate that incorporating a sponge can increase productivity by up to 190% while using crushed rubber can increase productivity by up to 225%.
