Or capillary action of ferrite/CO2 solution, combined with sublimation ?

PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA scientists have concluded that at least one of the large lakes observed on Saturn's moon Titan contains liquid hydrocarbons, and have positively identified the presence of ethane. This makes Titan the only body in our solar system beyond Earth known to have liquid on its surface.

...Confirmation of the presence of perchlorate and supporting data is important prior to scientific peer review and subsequent public announcements. The results from Sunday's TEGA experiment, which analyzed a sample taken directly above the ice layer, found no evidence of this compound.

Atmospheric processes may create perchlorate
...The group also passed a sodium chloride aerosol through an electric discharge, which simulated lightning, and detected perchlorate each time, with a ratio of perchlorate to chloride that was two orders of magnitude greater than the control. Perchlorate even formed when salt solutions were exposed to ozone and UV light, simulating desert conditions. Chemist Glen Miller at the University of Nevada, Reno, has found that photochemical oxidation on soil can also generate perchlorate....
