11. As the physical properties of ionic liquids such as density, melting point, viscosity, and hydrophobicity can be tuned through variation of anion or cation to tailor particular ionic liquids for a given use, they can be specifically designed to facilitate product recovery (from extraction, distillation or steam-stripping) and solvent recycling after the electrolysis hes been completed.
