English term or phrase: attapulgite
A type of mineral, mentioned at the end of a long list of natural resources in West Africa.
sentence:
"This area scored high on geological potential and has significant reserves of gold, iron, oil, gas, coal, uranium, heavy mineral sands, phosphates and attapulgite".

The definition from Wikipedia:
Palygorskite (also known as attapulgite) is a magnesium aluminum silicate from a type of clay soil common to the Southeastern United States. It is one of the types of fuller's earth. When used in medicine, it physically binds to acids and toxic substances in the stomach and digestive tract. For that reason, it has often been used in antidiarrheal medications. Until 2003, it was the active ingredient used in Kaopectate, before that product became pink bismuth subsalicylate. Like bismuth, it is not absorbed into the body, however the two work differently.

The name attapulgite is derived from the U.S. town of Attapulgus, Georgia, in the extreme southwest corner of the state, where the mineral is abundant. It is surface-mined in the area, mixed with water into a slurry, and transported in covered hopper cars via railroad.

I could not find anything in Arabic about it, and there is only ONE google hit for أتابولغايت.
Has anyone come across it before ?
