Salt will destroy concrete of any sort. We can't use it here to melt ice in winter on concrete although it is aright for tarmac paving. Water will disperse it into the cement and damage it from within. It will remain in the soil and spread contaminating adjacent areas.

I laid a line of salt heavily between to lawns atop the bricks that separate them. I watered it and left what didn't wash off. Each time it would rain for the next 6 weeks it gave that intruding grass a taste. Took 6 months to disolve it all. Nicely showning bricks now. Washing it down with a heavy solution a few times and then brushing the salt in between might just be the trick.
