Kunezindlela ezimbili eziyinhloko zokukhiqiza i-sodium sulfide. Indlela kasawoti kaGlauber ihilela ukuxuba i-sodium sulfate kanye nempuphu yamalahle ngesilinganiso esingu-1:0.5 bese uyifudumeza esithandweni sokuvuselela umoya ku-950°C, ngokuyivuselela njalo ukuze kuvinjelwe ukugoqana. Igesi ye-hydrogen sulfide ephumayo kumele imuncwe kusetshenziswa isisombululo se-alkaline, futhi ukwehluleka ukuhlangabezana nezindinganiso zokwelashwa kwegesi yokukhipha umoya kungabangela izinhlawulo ezivela kuziphathimandla zemvelo. Indlela ye-ex-product isebenzisa uketshezi olungcolile oluvela ekukhiqizweni kukasawoti we-barium, oludinga izinyathelo ezinhlanu zokuhlunga. Nakuba lokhu kunciphisa izindleko ngo-30%, ubumsulwa bungafinyelela ku-90% kuphela.

I-Sodium sulfide ikhetha izinto zokusetshenziswa ezisezingeni eliphezulu futhi ilawula ngokuqinile ukukhiqizwa ngobuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe, ngobumsulwa obuphezulu kanye nokungcola okuncane, iqinisekisa ukutholakala okuzinzile ngisho noma ama-oda amakhulu. Chofoza lapha ukuze uthole i-sodium sulfide esezingeni eliphezulu futhi esebenza kahle kakhulu.
