APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SLURRY FOR BATTERY

To detect the state of a slurry during stirring without exposure to the atmosphere and with high accuracy. A stirring tank stores a slurry for a battery without exposure to the atmosphere. A stirring device stirs the slurry in the stirring tank. An observation container is coupled to the stirring tank. A circulation device circulates the slurry between the stirring tank and the observation container without exposure to the atmosphere. A detection device detects the state of the slurry by irradiating the slurry in the observation container with X-rays and detecting the X-rays transmitted through the slurry.
