In this U.S.-Venezuela planning visit supported by the Americas Program of the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Interfacial, Transport and Thermodynamic Processing Program of the Division of Chemical and Transport Systems, Ronald Neuman of Auburn University will travel to two institutions in Venezuela, the Universidad Simon Bolivar (USB) in Caracas, and the Universidad de Los Andes (ULA) in Merida. The purpose of these visits is to plan new research collaborative projects with Professor Erich A. Muller at USB and Professor Jean-Louis Salager at ULA. The proposed research projects will investigate interfacial phenomena in complex fluid (liquid/liquid) systems and reflect the complementary expertise of the collaborators involved. The collaborative project with USB will employ recent advances in molecular simulation and parallel computer processing to investigate the liquid/liquid extraction of metals from aqueous to nonpolar organic phases. The proposed project with ULA will investigate complex crude oil emulsions stabilized by solid particles to obtain fundamental knowledge that will be applied to develop new remediation and pollution cleanup methods.The proposed research has the potential for the development of an environmentally clean method to remove oil spills from coastal beaches and obtain a clean oil product that can be recycled back into petroleum refining operations. The proposed activities involve the exchange of graduate students and undergraduate students, who will thus have first-hand experience with international collaborations.

在这次美国 - 委内瑞拉计划的访问中，由国际科学与工程办公室以及化学与运输系统部的界面，运输和热力学处理计划，奥本大学的罗纳德·诺伊曼（Ronald Neuman）将前往委内瑞拉的两个机构，委内瑞拉，西蒙·西蒙·玻利瓦尔大学（USB）In Merians in Caracas in Carace and Merise ins Merise and Merise and de los and de los and de los and de los（ula and de los and de los and de los and de los and de los。 这些访问的目的是与USB的Erich A. Muller和ULA的Jean-Louis Salager教授计划新的研究合作项目。 拟议的研究项目将研究复杂流体（液体/液体）系统中的界面现象，并反映所涉及的合作者的互补专业知识。 与USB的协作项目将采用分子模拟和并行计算机处理方面的最新进展，以研究金属从水溶液到非极性有机相的液体/液体提取。 拟议的与ULA的项目将研究通过固体颗粒稳定的复杂原油乳液，以获得基本知识，这些知识将用于开发新的修复和污染清理方法。拟议的研究具有开发环境清洁方法的潜力，可以从沿海海滩上去除漏油物，并获得可恢复到底石的清洁油产品。 拟议的活动涉及研究生和本科生的交流，因此他们将在国际合作中有一方面的经验。
