The removal of organic micro-pollutants (OMPs) from landfill leachate in constructed wetland (CW) media having different material mixtures of sand (S), clay (C), and iron powder (Fe) was investigated using experimental column study. The use of S:C:Fe media consisting of 60:30:10% (w/w) and cattail as vegetation was found optimum for the removals of 2,6-DTBP, BHT, DEP, DBP, and DEHP at 67.5–75.4% during long-term operation of 373 days. Adsorption and biodegradation were confirmed as predominant mechanisms for their removal in CW media but their contribution in total removal varied depending on chemical properties of OMPs. Adsorption kinetic could be well explained by pseudo-second-order whereas biodegradation kinetic followed first-order reaction. The adsorption affinity of OMPs to CW media was S:C:Fe > S:C > S in descending order. This study demonstrated high and sustainable removal of OMPs during long-term operation of CW with the optimized reactive media.
