the 15,000 sq. meters we will give the minimum volume of 1 atom thickness.

15,000 cubic. meters/ volume of zinc=number of molecules
number of molecules/avagado's number=weight in grams*atomic number.

15,000 cubic. meters/ volume of zinc=number of molecules
number of molecules/6x10^23=weight in grams*atomic number.

Power of activated carbon: 1 gram=15,000meters
Zinc density=71.4g/cm cubed

15000meter*1,ooo,ooocm/meter=number of centimeters
7.14 g/cm cubed*number of cubic centimeters= weight in grams

15000meter*1,ooo,ooocm/meter=15*10^9 cubic centimeters
7.14 g/cm cubed*15*10^9= 1.05*10^10 grams of zinc

let's assume a brita filter weighs only 1/10 of a kg
Therefore a brita filter can absorb 1.05*9 kgs or 1 million kgs or 1100 tons

The weight of the empire state building is 365000 tons therefore it would take about 340 Brita filters to capture enough zinc of equivalent weight to the Empire State Building.
