Market for used electropolishing acid?

Is there a market for spent electropolishing acid. It is a combination of phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid. It is used to polish stainless steel.

There could be. Furane catalyst (420 grams/litre H2SO4 & 480 grams/litre H3PO4) is used set furane resin which binds the sand in metallurgical casting moulds. However I don't know what is the effect of the dissolved metals.

Does any one know where I can obtain design drawings and data for a electropolishing system?
