Abstract The mechanical reduction of CuO by pure metallic Mg has been investigated during pulverizing in ball mill at room temperature. The reduction was towards its completion of an average particle size down to 20nm after 32h. The mechanism of mechanical reduction of oxide seems to be proposed as the surface activation of nm sized particles driven by mechanical force.
