Kaolin earth

A white, fine-grained rock or aluminium silicate (also Spanish earth, china clay) named after the Chinese mountain Kaoling, which is used for example in the production of porcelain and paper. It is also used in the production of fine wines, especially sweet wines. It also serves as an inert agent when silver chloride is used to eliminate reduction aromas.
