The radiative properties of a particle dispersed medium were investigated experimentally and theoretically for the case of high particle volume concentration, and the following results were obtained. The assumption of independent scattering of an isolated particle is not sufficient to obtain a solution for the radiative transfer of multiple scattering and absorption in a dispersed medium of high particle volume concentration. With an increase of particle volume concentration, the scattering coefficient decreases in the case of a medium of low absorption coefficient. In the case of a medium of high absorption coefficient, the increase of absorption coefficient and the decrease of scattering coefficient take place simultaneously.
