Abstract
A superlow elastic stability of low-saline NaCl-H2O ice in a broad range of low temperatures (100–215 K) has been observed under the conditions of strong uniaxial compression. The level of elastic stability of the saline ice (containing a low mass fraction of NaCl within p = 0.0001–0.01) was 15–30 times smaller than in pure freshwater ice. This phenomenon can be used for the controlled production of steam, hydrogen, and oxygen using explosive fragmentation and in other low-temperature processes involving ice.
