The aliphatic carboxylic acids, e.g., acetic acid, are selectively prepared, even on an industrial scale, by controlledly oxidizing the corresponding alkanes, e.g., ethane, with a source of oxygen, in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of an advantageously supported heteropolyacid catalyst having the formula (I):[AaBb]f[CcDdEeOx]f-(I)in which A is at least one monovalent cation selected from among hydrogen, an alkali metal, or the ammonium ion; B is VO2+, VO3+, an alkaline earth metal ion, or an ion of a metal of Groups VII A, VIII, I B, IV B and V B of the Periodic Table; C is Mo and/or W; D is phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, silicon, germanium and/or boron; E is vanadium, optionally in combination with at least one metal of Groups V A, VII A and VIII of the Periodic Table or chromium; f=a+ alpha b wherein alpha depends on the charge of the ion B, which is equal to 2, 3 or 4; c is a number ranging from 5 to 20-e; d is a number ranging from 1 to 5; and e is a number ranging from 1 to 9.
