"Dissolution" should be used instead. This is the process of a solute getting into the liquid phase to form a solution. "Solvation" and "solution" are used in chemistry. They have a very differrent meaning. A "solution" is a solvent containing (a) solute(s). Water dissolve table salt (NaCl) to give a solution. This is the dissolution process. "Solvation" addresses the interaction(s) between a solvent and a solute. An ion (Na+, Cl+), or a neutral molecule , is "solvated" by the water molecules (solvent molecules). "Dissolvation" is NOT in (official) use in chemistry (se recommandations of the IUPAC = International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry). More scientific and complete definitions can be found in the "Gold Book", the IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology. Note: My mother language is not English, but I use it often as a university professor in chemistry. JF Gal, Prof. emeritus, University of Nice, France
