Phragmites australis, Zizania latifolia and Typha angustifoliawere grown in mono culture in order to compare growth (relative biomass increase rate), variation of photosynthetic pigment (total chlorophyll, Chl a, Chl b and Chl a/Chl b) and effectiveness of nutriment removal in 15‰ NaCl-salt solution or processed-leachate (salinity 19.6‰) from sanitary landfill sites. The relative biomass increase rate of P. australis was significantly higher than Z. latifolia and T. angustifolia. In the case of P. australiswere 178 %, 148 % and 157 %, respectively. Also, in 15 ‰ NaCl-salt solution treatment, the relative biomass increase rates of P. australis increased as folows; 161 % (above-part), 183 % (rhizome) and 112 % (root). Total chlorophyll contents increased significantly in the leaves of P. australis and Z. latifolia grown in 15 ‰ NaCl-salt solution and processed-leachate. Among three macrophytes, P. australis was evaluated as most effective macrophyte for the biological retreatment of processed-leachate from sanitary landfill sites.
