Kugeza ubu, hari uburyo bubiri bwo gutegura silika. Imwe murimwe nuburyo bwimvura, ninzira rusange yinzira ni:
Ubwa mbere, umucanga wa quartz ukoreshwa n ivu rya soda mubushyuhe bwinshi ukoresheje amavuta ya lisansi cyangwa gaze kubyara ibirahuri byamazi yinganda. Ikirahuri cyamazi yinganda noneho kivangwa namazi kugirango kibe igisubizo cyoroshye cyibintu runaka. Mubihe bimwe na bimwe, aside yongewemo kugirango igabanye dioxyde ya silicon. Nyuma yo gukora isuku, kuyungurura, kumisha, no kumenagura, ibicuruzwa silika iraboneka. Uburyo bwimvura burashobora kugabanywa muburyo bwinshi butandukanye nkuburyo bwa aside, uburyo bwa sol, uburyo bwa karubone, nibindi.
Mubushinwa, uburyo bwa aside bukoreshwa cyane. Uburyo bwa acide burimo gukora silicate solubate hamwe na acide sulfurike (cyangwa aside irike). Iyo igisubizo cyibisubizo kigeze ku giciro runaka cya pH, reaction ya aside irahagarara, igakurikirwa no gusaza. Hanyuma, imvange irayungurura kandi yogejwe kenshi namazi kugirango ukureho Na2SO4. Nyuma yibyo, byoherejwe kumisha no gusya kugirango ubone ibicuruzwa.
