Henry Augustus Green died at his residence in Shenfield, Essex, on September 6th, 1941, at the age of 56.
From 1899 to 1902 he acquired his technical training at the City and Guilds Technical College, where he received his diploma, and he then obtained an appointment at the spelter works of Messrs. Vivian & Sons, Swansea.
From 1905 to July, 1909, he was at the Botallack and Geevor mines in Cornwall, and at the latter date he joined the staff of Murex, Ltd., with which firm he remained for the rest of his life. His first engagement in that connexion was as engineer at the Company’s testing works at Millwall. He then went to Spain to install and control plant for the treatment of copper tailings and slimes; to France for similar work in relation to zinc blende from barytes, and to Germany for treatment of galena.
In 1911 he went to Australia to engage on metallurgical work on load-zinc ores and copper and, in 1914, he visited the United States. From 1915 onwards he was engaged in converting the business of Murex, Ltd., from exploitation work to metallurgical work on the treatment of complex ores and the manufacture of tungsten and carbon free alloys, with a brief interlude in 1924, when he went to Burma for the purpose of reporting on and re-starting the Mawehi Mines.
Mr. Green was elected a Member of the Institution in 1930.
