1. A mineral separation arrangement comprising:
a mineral separation table comprising a planar surface that is devoid of perforations, as defined in x/y/z coordinates the planar surface is angled along a central axis defined by angle α in a −z direction along the +x axis and angle β in the −z direction along the +y axis;
an electric motor connected to the mineral separation table, the electric motor configured to vibrate the mineral separation table,
the mineral separation table configured to separate first particles from second particles when the mineral separation table is driven by the vibration,
the first and the second particles are from a concentrated aggregate,
the first particles have a higher specific gravity than the second particles,
the vibration corresponding to either a first wave train, a second wave train or a third wave train, wherein
the first wave train defined by a plurality of first waveforms each comprising a primary half sine wave followed by a pause, the pause having a pause time that is less than 0.1 of a half sine wave time,
the second vibration wave train comprising a plurality of second waveforms each having the primary half sine wave followed by a plurality of high frequency sine waves, the plurality of high frequency sine waves comprising a frequency that is higher than the primary half sine wave and the plurality of high frequency sine waves comprise an amplitude that is lower than the primary half sine wave,
the third vibration wave train comprising a plurality of third waveforms each having the primary half sine wave at least partially superimposed with the plurality of high frequency sine waves; and
a controller connected to the electric motor, the controller comprising an output vibration signal that corresponds to at least one of the first, the second or the third vibration wave trains.
