reliquefied

Returned to liquid

Reliquefied means converted back to liquid form after having been solidified or gasified.

The term appears most often in industrial contexts involving gases like natural gas or nitrogen that are liquefied for transport, then allowed to vaporize, then liquefied again: The reliquefied gas was pumped back into storage tanks.
