Definition Adsorption
Die Anreicherung eines Stoffes an der Oberfläche einer benachbarten Phase wird allgemein als Adsorption bezeichnet.
Bei Festkörpern (Aktivkohle) kann die Adsorption sowohl aus der Gasphase wie aus umgebenden Flüssigkeiten (Wasser) erfolgen.
Bei Absorption dringen Moleküle ins Innere der Nachbarphase ein, z.b. Einlagerung von Wasserstoff in Metalle.

Do not get me wrong: From a scientific point of view, I completely agree with Audrey's suggestion (and Gillian's clever modification). Penetrate is a good scientific word.
However, if you want to stay closer to the original text, you may want to use my suggestion. In this instance, "interior" is needed. Think about it: if the German authors wanted to use "penetrate", they could have simply said "penetrieren".Perhaps the idea was to make it more understandable for the general public.
It's your call.
