Abstract: In this study, according to the effect of the leachate tail water discharged after plant treatment, after analysis and comparison, the final removal rate of TN and TP in the leachate tail water under the three plant mixed cultivation methods was significantly higher than that of the monoculture method. Under the mixed cultivation method, the final removal of TN and TP in the leachate tailwater also increased significantly, but the removal effects of NH₄⁺-N and COD in the leachate tailwater had no significant difference between mixed cultivation and monoculture. In summary, it can be seen that the mixed cultivation method proposed in the study has a strong effect on water purification, with the best effect on TN and TP removal of about 95% and 93.43%.

Keywords: aquatic plants; configuration pattern; water purification; removal rate.
