PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an industrially practicable method for producing a carboxylic acid and/or its salt by oxidizing the corresponding alcohol with molecular oxygen using a highly durable catalyst. SOLUTION: The method for producing the carboxylic acid and/or its salt comprises oxidizing the corresponding alcohol with molecular oxygen. Specifically, this method comprises carrying out the oxidation in an aqueous medium in the presence of a catalyst with gold-containing particles carried on a carrier containing titanium and/or zirconium. This method is excellent in high performance and catalyst durability. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
