Can the salt solution be recycled after being collected from salt chamber?

Can the salt solution be recycled after being collected from salt chamber?
Suppose we use 5% NaCl Solution for salt-spray chamber,PH value was adjusted according to ASTM B117, Now if we get the collected solution with having PH in the same range as it was earlier, then can we use the collected solution again and again?

Hi,
Per ASTM B117, paragraph 4.2 which states that "drops of solution which accumulate on the ceiling or cover of the chamber shall not be permitted to fall on the specimens being exposed."

4.3 states that "drops of solution shall not be returned to the solution reservoir for respraying."

I never heard of anyone recycling their collected salt fog.
