Catalysis of the hydrolysis of phosphoric monoesters, releasing inorganic phosphate. Catalysis of the reaction: RPO-R' + H2O = RPOOH + R'H. This reaction is the hydrolysis of any phosphoric ester bond, any ester formed from orthophosphoric acid, O=P(OH)3. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of a diphosphoester to give a diphosphate group and a free hydroxyl group. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of a phosphodiester to give a phosphomonoester and a free hydroxyl group. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of a triphosphoester to give a triphosphate group and a free hydroxyl group. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of various bonds, e.g. C-O, C-N, C-C, phosphoric anhydride bonds, etc. Hydrolase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 3. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of a phosphoric triester. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any ester bond.
