Resumen
A material floating in water and comprising a core of cork coated on the surface by a layer of active carbon of amorphous structure and a discontinuous layer of titanium dioxide on said layer of activated carbon. The invention also describes the process for obtaining said material, which comprises performing a physical or chemical activation of the cork by calcining the material at a temperature between 500 and 850ºC in an inert atmosphere, impregnating the material resulting from the previous stage with water spray and then using a titanium compound and dry the material resulting from the previous stage. The invention also discloses the use of said material as photocatalytic adsorbent and decontaminant in the treatment of gaseous and liquid streams comprising organic contaminating compounds.
