Summary:The present invention relates to a novel, noncatalytic process for preparing aliphatic carboxylic acids from aldehydes by oxidation with oxygen or oxygen-containing gases. The invention relates to a method for producing aliphatic carboxylic acids from aldehydes by means of oxidation with oxygen or gases containing oxygen. This novel process is carried out in at least two stages at different temperatures, preferably in the absence of catalysts.
