In a process for the oxidation of a lower alkene, such as ethylene, over a catalyst containing Cu and one or more zeolite or zeotype materials, the oxidation is conducted in the presence of ammonia in the feed gas at a process temperature below 350 C. The oxidation can be performed in a continuous process.
