The present application discloses a method for preparing a hierarchical porous TS-1 molecular sieve comprising using a silicon-titanium ester polymer as both titanium source and silicon source. In the method, silicon and titanium are uniformly connected to a same polymer, and the hydrolysis rates thereof are equivalent during hydrolysis, which can prevent TiO.sub.2 precipitation and reduce the generation of non-framework titanium. Further, the silicon-titanium ester polymer is not only used as both silicon source and titanium source, but also can be used as a mesoporous template in the synthesis process. The obtained TS-1 molecular sieve has mesoporous structure with narrow pore size distribution.

The present application discloses a method for preparing hierarchical porous titanium-silicon TS-1 molecular sieve, wherein a titanate polyester polyol is used as titanium source. In the method, titanium is connected to a polymer, which makes titanium more difficult to hydrolyze, prevent the TiO.sub.2 precipitation and reduce the formation of non-framework titanium. In addition that such new type of the titanate polyester polyol acts as the titanium source during the synthesis process, the titanate polyester polyol can also be used as mesoporous template. Therefore, the TS-1 molecular sieve obtained by this method has mesoporous structure, which plays an important role in promoting the application of TS-1 molecular sieve in the field of catalysis.
