In a process for distillatively removing ammonia and water from mixtures obtained in the preparation of polyamides which comprise a lactam and/or diamines, and, if appropriate, an aminonitrile and/or dinitrile, and also a cyclopentanone impurity in two stages: 1) the mixture is distilled at from 11...
