This study investigated organics removal and microbial community in a two-stage alternating anaerobic/aerobic (A1/O1/A2/O2) process for polyester resin wastewater treatment. It was found that chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration could be reduced to below 500 mg L−1 from 12,880 mg L−1 with aver...
