Yes, adding salt to ice helps lower its melting point, causing the ice to melt more slowly. The salt disrupts the balance between frozen and liquid water and helps create a colder brine, which in turn makes the ice react with its surroundings and melt at a slower rate.
The mineral commonly used for melting ice on slippery winter surfaces is rock salt, also known as sodium chloride. It lowers the freezing point of water and helps to break down the ice, making it easier to clear the surface.
The ice in a Coke float at McDonald's may not melt as quickly because the ice is typically made with a higher density, which helps it resist melting faster. Additionally, the cold temperature of the drink helps keep the ice from melting rapidly. Furthermore, the ice is often made with filtered water, which tends to have fewer impurities that can accelerate melting.
Adding salt to ice lowers its melting point. Salt disrupts the normal freezing/melting process by interfering with the formation of the ice crystal structure, causing the ice to melt at a lower temperature than it normally would.
During melting the chemical composition of NaCl is not changed.
NaCl has the highest melting point (between NaCl and H2O)
Dissolving a salt (NaCl, CaCl2) in water the heat of dissolution is released and the melting point of ice is then decreased.
Calcium chloride is better (the solubility heat is greater) but is more expensive.
Adding salt to ice decreases its melting point. Adding salt to the top of ice helps melt the ice faster.
The ion chlorine from NaCl or CaCl2 is corrosive for metals (all type of vehicles) or roads.

We can use sodium, calcium and potassium chlorides; NaCl is the cheapest, calcium chloride is the most efficient but is more expensive.
Melting ice turns the ice into water.
Melting point of NaCl: 801 0C Boiling point of NaCl: 1 413 0C.
