Abstract: Let $T$ be a bounded quaternionic normal operator on a right quaternionic Hilbert space $mathcalH$. We show that $T$ can be factorized in a strongly irreducible sense, that is, for any $delta>0$ there exist a compact operator $K$ with $|K|<delta$, a partial isometry $W$ and a strongly irreducible operator $S$ on $mathcalH$ such that �egin{equation*} T = (W+K) S. end{equation*} We illustrate our result with an example. We also prove a quaternionic version of the Riesz decomposition theorem and as a consequence, show that if the spherical spectrum of a bounded quaternionic operator (need not be normal) is disconnected by a pair of disjoint axially symmetric closed subsets, then it is strongly reducible.
