This work has been focused on the synthesis of the iron oxide nano particle from the spanich (In Hindi: palak) by using polyvinyl alcohol in static and dynamic state. The sizes of the nano particle were determined by XRD technique. The presences of the functional group in iron oxide nano particle were characterized through FTIR. LVSEM and EDAX were carried to examination the surface feature and determine the chemical composition of the nano particle. The decomposition of the feric oxide was studied by TG analysis. The result shows that the magnetite nano powders were successfully prepared by chemical route in polymer matrix. The dynamic state modifies the size particle by repeating of impact. This method has the advantage that it can produce ultra-fine iron oxide powder quickly. The prolonged thermal treatment of the Fe3O4 produced Fe2O3 hematite nano particle. The sizes of the nano particle are found approximately 44.6 in static state and 20nm in dynamic state analyzed through XRD. EDAX and FTIR analysis show the presence of the respective element and their functional group.
