Subsequently, the Box-Behnken design method and RSM were employed to construct a response surface model that links input parameters (drum half cone angle, screw pitch, and spiral blade Inclination angle) with target variables (solid phase recovery rate and overflow liquid phase solids content). The interactions between each input parameter and target variable were assessed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), which confirmed the model's effectiveness and generalization capability. Finally, MOGA was employed to optimize the centrifuge's structural parameters, resulting in an 8.16 % increase in solid recovery rate and a 35.84 % reduction in overflow liquid solid content.
