• coexistent anion
• phosphate adsorption
• solution pH
• surface functional group

This study demonstrated the modification of commercially available activated carbons (CS and R1) by de-ashing (DA), oxidation (Ox) and outgassing (OG) treatment to possess different surface area, pore volume, and the amount of surface functional groups, and these parameters were related to the efficiency of phosphate removal. The results showed that positively charged carbon surface due to the adsorption of protons to the basic sites resulted in the promotion of phosphate adsorption, that is, the extent of the surface area with the basic sites such as Cp electrons and/or basic oxygen groups would enable to enhance the efficiency of phosphate adsorption.
