I don't think Arima is a ghoul. If you have read the raw of chapter 140, you can see that after Kaneki fell unconscious, there was a small scratch appear on Arima's right cheek and that wound is bleeding. If Arima had been a ghoul, that small wound would have healed immediately.

Therefore, Arima looks more like human to me, but maybe he has been enhanced in some ways by the CCG. In chapter 115, Takatsuki Sen (author of the book Kaneki likes) mentioned to Amon that there is a company called Sphinx who dissolves ghouls into some kind of mushy liquid and sells it to CCG for an extremely expensive price. I guess that maybe Arima is the one from CCG to drink that liquid that thus having fighting capabilities like a ghoul. If that was true, then the fact that his hair had been turing from black to white gradually during 10 years would be the side effect of drinking "dissolved ghouls".
