Abstract:
The physical mixtures of hydroxocarbonates of Cu and Ni with aluminium were activated using a laboratory planetary mill. The
chemical reactions and alloy formations as the effects of grinding were followed by the phase analysis of solid products based
on the thermogravimetry and X-ray diffractometry. Experimental evidence indicates that the nature of reactions and products
of mechanical activation was dependent on the amount of aluminium and time of grinding.
