  3. Introduction • For magnetically confined plasmas, How to control of impurity level is a critical issue for the fusion reaction in the future. the Z_effective is a significant parameter with indication of the total impurity level. Visible bremsstrahlung measurement is a powerful tool approaching to derive this key data. • Determination Zeff via Bremsstrahlung was first applied by Kadota on JIPP T-II in 1980, and soon used worldwide on many devices，such as DIII-D, JET, FTU,ASDEXUpgrade, LHD etc, for the regardlessness of the number of impurity species in the plasma. The best region to measure the radiation is in the visible. 3

  5. The principle of Zeff from V.B. The emission coefficient of bremsstrahlung radiation Zeff can be expressed as: and the line averaged Zeff is defined as: 5

  7. Experimental Set-up • The HT-7 superconducting tokamak has a major radius of R=1.22m and a minor radius of a =0.27m in the circular cross-section. From this spring the graphite limiters had been instead of molybdenum limiters in order to develop the lithium wall conditioning experiments • Basically, the HT-7 tokamak with the limiter configuration is normally operated under the basic parameters: Ip=100-250kA, the toroidal magnetic field Bt=2T, the central line-averaged plasma density ne=0.5-6e19m-3 , central electron temperature Te=0.5-3.0keV and central ion temperature Ti =0.2-1.5keV 7

  13. The impurity amount varies with ne After lithiation After boronization boronization is further more effective to decrease the level of impurity 13

  15. Further more benefits for lithium coating Red --after boronization Blue -- after lithium coating In despite of much more reduced Zeffafter boronization, lithium coating can get a very lower recycling of hydrogen and isotopes in the plasma edge and can get much more lower ratio of H/H+D after many times operation. The value of H/H+D can be decreased below 10%. It is benefit for ICRF minority ion heating 15

  17. Conclusion • Impurities and Zeff are reduced obviously by lithium coating wall conditioning • It is indicated by statistics that reduced impurities and Zeffseems inverse proportional to the quantity of lithium coating • The impurity amount varies approximately linearly with ne, which is useful for Zeff determination and also indicated that boronization is further more effective to decrease the level of impurity • In despite of much more reduced Zeffafter boronization, lithium coating can get a very lower recycling of hydrogen and isotopes in the plasma edge and can get much more lower ratio of H/H+D after many times operation. The value of H/H+D can be decreased below 10%. It is benefit for ICRF minority ion heating 17

  18. Discussion • Why does the Zeff much more larger with the molybdenum limiter than with the graphite limiter? It comes into being from higher Z molybdenum PFC and limiter configuration in lower density region(1-3e19m-3) on HT-7 • We are looking forward to doing the analysis of Zeff and impurities behavior on EAST with molybdenum PFC in lithium coating wall conditioning experiments in near future 18
