Dear Professor Hubbe,

We would like to submit another manuscript by Hasan Saad entitled Sodium titanate nanobelt as
a microparticle to induce clay flocculation with CPAM to your BioResources journal for possible
evaluation. It is a research paper to investigate whether a negatively charged nanobelt with an
extremely large aspect ratio can be used as a microparticle to improve clay flocculation with
CPAM. The idea originates from the general role which a microparticle with larger aspect rato
shows higher microparticle bridging ability. It may be interest to the readers of your journal.
