George James Snelus (1837 - 1906) was an English metallurgist, known to be the first to remove phosphorus from pig iron, by oxydizing it in a converter lined with basic refractory materials. Facing difficulties to perform a reliable and cheap lining, he delayed further improvements and failed to find a practical solution, which was finally found by Sidney Gilchrist Thomas.
