The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of Chrysopogon zizanioides using the floating wetland treatment (FWT) technique in the removal of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn, Fe, and Hg from three different concentrations of landfill leachate (100% crude leachate [L100], 75% leachate + 25% tap water [L75], and 50% leachate + 50% tap water [L50]) for a period of 60 days. The concentration of heavy metals in leachate and C. zizanioides was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The results show that heavy metal concentrations decrease significantly (p < 0.05) in vegetation treatments. Removal efficiency was higher in the L100 leachate with 100%, 58.1%, 33.4%, 67.8%, 58.3%, 29.4%, 69.2%, and 67.2% for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Pb, and Zn, respectively. This study demonstrates the efficiency of removing heavy metals from landfill leachate using the FWT technique.
