Abstract: We consider zero-range processes in ${mathbbZ}^d$ with site dependent jump rates. The rate for a particle jump from site $x$ to $y$ in ${mathbbZ}^d$ is given by $lambd{a}_{x}g(k)p(y-x)$, where $p(cdot)$ is a probability in ${mathbbZ}^d$, $g(k)$ is a bounded nondecreasing function of the number $k$ of particles in $x$ and $lambda=lambd{a}_x$ is a collection of i.i.d. random variables with values in $(c,1]$, for some $c>0$. For almost every realization of the environment $lambda$ the zero-range process has product invariant measures $u_{lambda,v}:0levlec$ parametrized by $v$, the average total jump rate from any given site. The density of a measure, defined by the asymptotic average number of particles per site, is an increasing function of $v$. There exists a product invariant measure $u_{lambda,c}$, with maximal density. Let $mu$ be a probability measure concentrating mass on configurations whose number of particles at site $x$ grows less than exponentially with $|x|$. Denoting by $S_{lambda}(t)$ the semigroup of the process, we prove that all weak limits of $mu{S}_{lambda}(t),tge0$ as $toinfty$ are dominated, in the natural partial order, by $u_{lambda,c}$. In particular, if $mu$ dominates $u_{lambda,c}$, then $mu{S}_{lambda}(t)$ converges to $u_{lambda,c}$. The result is particularly striking when the maximal density is finite and the initial measure has a density above the maximal.
