When any mineral is added to water, its freezing point is lowered. The higher the concentration of the mineral, the more the freezing point is lowered.
Salt water has a lower freezing point that plain water. Adding salt to ice will lower the freezing point of the ice and effectively melt the ice, at least down to a certain temperature. Notes seem to indicate that the minimum temperature for a saltwater solution is -21.1°C, below which adding salt to the ice would be ineffective.
It lowers the freezing point. Salt water has a lower freezing point than fresh water.
