Titanium oxide (TiO 2) was impregnated on the surface of titanosilicate-1 (TiO 2 /TS-1) and used as catalyst for hydroxylation of phenol with hydrogen peroxide. Calcination was conducted at various temperatures (400, 500, 600 and 700°C) in order to observe the effect on the structure and physicochemical properties towards catalytic activity for producing hydroquinone. The structure and physicochemical properties of the TiO 2 /TS-1 catalyst were characterized by several techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption, pyridine adsorption and hydrophilic measurement. The results show that by increasing the calcination temperature, the surface acidity of the catalyst was also increased. The TiO 2 /TS-1 catalyst calcined at 500 °C proved to be optimal for hydroquinone production, in which the anatase-rutile phase may be present dispersed on the MFI framework.
