Radiative properties for polydispersions of carbon, coals (anthracite, bituminous, lignite) and fly-ash are predicted using Mie theory for spherical, homogeneous particles. The spectral extinction and absorption coefficients are calculated for different particle size distribution functions. The extinction coefficient and the single-scattering albedo were found to be rather insensitive to the size distribution. 36 refs.
