The adsorption studies were carried out at pH 5 and 7 using a systematic factorial experimental design that considered the metal concentration from 1 mg l<sup>-1</sup> to 10 mg l<sup>-1</sup> and NP concentration from 0.064 g l<sup>-1</sup> to 0.640 g l<sup>-1</sup>. The highest adsorption capacity was obtained in the removal of lead (II) (128.1 mg g<sup>-1</sup>), followed by cadmium (II) (93.4</p> <div> <p>mg g<sup>-1</sup>) and finally chromium (VI) (34.4 mg g<sup>-1</sup>). Data were fitted to a polynomial function obtaining the best reduced models. The type of system (single, multi-component) did not affect sorption capacity, whilst pH affected the sorption of Cd and Cr, but not that of lead. CeO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles proved to be effective adsorbents in removing all three heavy metals in multi-component systems, which opens a new window for their use as sorbent materials in complex waters contaminated with mixtures of heavy metals. </p> </div> <p> </p> </p></abstract><publication_date><month>08</month><day>24</day><year>2015</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>536</first_page><last_page>543</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">gnest_01687</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.001687</doi><timestamp>1714170452</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/gnest_01687</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
