The efficacy of employing photocatalysis as a means to effectively eliminate textile dyes depends on the matrix and quality of the aqueous medium. In the preceding endeavor, the synthesis and modification of the N-carbon quantum dot-modified MIL-53 (Fe) nanocomposite (NCM-53) were successfully executed, leading to the obtaining of optimal conditions for the consequent photocatalytic process. The present study sought to assess the impact of matrix constituents, including inorganic anions, metal ions, and natural organic matter, as well as inorganic oxidants, on the photocatalytic oxidation of NCM-53. Methylene blue (MB) was employed as a representative contaminant in this study. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted to evaluate the impact of inorganic oxidants on serving as viable alternatives for electron acceptors in the photocatalytic oxidation of NCM-53. The findings of our experiments indicate that the combination involving IO4- has exhibited a pronounced enhancement in the rate of photocatalytic degradation of MB by NCM-53. Conversely, the remaining oxyanions, whose reaction rate constants are either equivalent to or less than threefold, have shown a moderate improvement. The comprehensive investigation of the prepared nanocomposite involved a thorough examination of the impact of coexisting aqueous species, particularly prevalent inorganic ions and metal ions. The research results indicate that the introduction of Al3+ ions led to a slight decrease in the efficacy of photocatalytic degradation. Furthermore, the presence of other cations resulted in a slight decline in the photocatalytic activity. The analysis of the effects of inorganic anions demonstrated that the photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite was significantly inhibited. In particular, carbonate ions showcased greater efficiency compared to other anions in diminishing the photocatalytic activity of the NCM-53 nanocomposite. The findings about the impact of natural organic matter (NOM) indicate that increased concentrations of NOM led to a reduction in the rate of the reaction responsible for the MB removal. Moreover, an assessment has been conducted to evaluate the impact of various natural water matrices, including pure water, tap water, and river water, on the decolorization of MB and the efficacy of organic carbon removal. Furthermore, an estimation was made regarding the electrical energy per order (EEO) pertaining to the Xenon/NCM-53/Oxidant system. The findings indicated that the utilization of periodate oxidant had the potential to diminish the EEO index.
