Raman spectroscopy was used to study the NaCl aqueous solutions around the solid-liquid phase transition. Special attention was devoted to the modification induced by the salt on the OH stretching band of water. Investigations were carried out in the temperature range between -21 and 10 degrees C, for concentrations from 0 to 200 g/L. We demonstrated that micro-Raman spectroscopy can be used as a marker, allowing the determination of the salt concentration of an aqueous solution with an error close to +/-5%.
