The concept of a steady state tokamak with plasma facing components (PFC) on the basis of the closed loop of liquid lithium circulation demands the technological decision of three tasks: lithium injection to the plasma, lithium ions collection before their deposition on the vacuum vessel and Li returning from collector to the injection zone. Main subject of paper is the investigations of Li collection by different types limiters, intersected the scrape-of-layer (SOL) of T-10 and T-11M tokamaks. For practical solution of this problem in Т-11М and Т-10 tokamak experiments have been applied Li-, C-rail limiters and special ring SS R-limiter-collector (T-11M). The quantitative analysis of the sample-witnesses located on Т-11М limiters showed, that nearby 60±20% of the lithium injected during plasma operating of Т-11М had been collected by limiters. It confirms a potential opportunity of collection of the main part of the injected lithium by the limiters-collectors located in the SOL area of steady state tokamak.
