| dbo:abstract | - William Merriam Burton (* November in Cleveland, Ohio; † Dezember in Miami) war ein US-amerikanischer Chemiker.
Er entwickelte das erste kommerziell erfolgreiche Verfahren des Thermischen Crackens in der Erdölraffination in den USA. Burton studierte Chemie an der Western Reserve University mit dem Bachelorabschluss und wurde an der Johns Hopkins University promoviert. Er arbeitete ab für Standard Oil, zunächst in deren Raffinerie in und bis zu seinem Ruhestand als Präsident.
Sein Cracking Verfahren (Burton Verfahren) zerlegte die langkettigen Kohlenwasserstoffe im Rohöl unter hohem Druck und Temperatur in kürzere Ketten, wurde patentiert und verdoppelte die Benzinausbeute aus Erdöl, rechtzeitig um Engpässe im Ersten Weltkrieg zu vermeiden. Schon zuvor wurde allerdings ein Cracking-Verfahren in Russland durch Wladimir Grigorjewitsch Schuchow entwickelt.
