Tell me the procedure to synthesis basic alumina (nano level(

I don't know about nano level, but a simple thermite reaction produces aluminum oxide that can be ball milled to the level that you want I assume.

Not sure if this is basic alumina but, it is alumina.

P.S. Try adding a please next time. People will not like them if you try to tell them what to do.

I've seen mention that "basic alumina" is 50wt% KOH mixed with Al2O3.
