In the present invention, separation and removal of oxazole are carried out by continuously supplying crude acetonitrile and water in a liquid state or a gas state to an intermediate portion of a rectification column, and converting oxazole from the top of the column with 5 to 40% by weight of water and a small amount of acetonitrile. And the mixture is concentrated and separated as a mixture, and acetonitrile containing no oxazole is recovered from the lower part of the column. That is, under such conditions, the specific volatility of acetonitrile and oxazole becomes very large, and the rectification and separation of acetonitrile and oxazole, which could not be completely separated by the conventional rectification method, becomes possible. The supply to the rectification column is preferably gaseous in order to reduce the vapor for rectification separation. The water content is preferably 0.5 to 5% by weight, but is more preferably in the range of 1 to 3% by weight in order to save steam for rectification and improve the recovery of acetonitrile.
