Abstract: Agricultural nonpoint pollution is a main contamination source of groundwater, which contains numerous phosphorus and ammonia, leading to the eutrophication of rivers and lakes. Permeable reactive barrier (PRB) is an insitu remediation technology, which has been developed in the last decade for remediation of groundwater. In this research, zerovalent iron (ZVI) and biochar, which are known as effective material in PRB, were used in the remediation of phosphorus, ammonia and PPCPs in simulated cropland drainage. Under the flow rate of 1 mL·min^-1, pH 7, and phosphorus concentration 11.73 mg·L^-1, ZVI reacted with phosphorus at rate of 88.7 mg·kg^-1, while no significant removal of phosphorous by biochar was observed. How-ever, under the same condition, the sorption capacity for cambamazipine, ibuprofen and bisphenolA by biochar was detected as 328.0, 99.8, 385.4 mg·kg^-1, respectively, which was 57.5, 66.5, 83.8 times higher than ZVI. The interception effect of different PRB materials on pollutants was different. Therefore, selection and combination of various materials should be taken into consideration when dealing with cropland drainage in the actual field.
