A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LOWER ALIPHATIC ACIDS WHICH COMPRISES OXIDISING IN THE LIQUID PHASE A PARAFFIN HYDROCARBON OF FOUR TO EIGHT CARBON ATOMS WITH MOLECULAR OXYGEN TO PRODUCE LOWER ALIPHATIC ACIDS AND LIGHT ENDS, DISTILLING THE OXIDATION PRODUCT TO SEPARATE AS LIGHT ENDS THE MATERIALS BOILING BELOW 99*C. IN THE PRESENCE OF WATER, ADMIXING SAID LIGHT ENDS WITH A PARAFFIN HYDROCARBON OF FOUR TO EIGHT CARBON ATOMS, THEREAFTER OXIDISING IN THE LIQUID PHASE THIS MIXTURE WITH MOLECULAR OXYGEN WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL ACCUMULATION OF LIGHT ENDS TO PRODUCE LOWER ALIPHATIC ACIDS AT A GREATER RATIO OF SAID ACIDS TO HYDROCARBON CONSUMED THAN IN SUCH OXIDATION OF THE HYDROCARBON ALONE.
