M and Osuji L. C. Department of Pure and Industrial Chemistry, University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Accepted 30 December, 2013 Ability of potassium permanganate as a chemical oxidant in the removal of hydrocarbons from crude oil polluted soils was evaluated in this research. Gas chromatography (GC) was used to monitor the depletion of three broad hydrocarbon groups: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene(btex). Sandy soil samples polluted with bonny light crude oil were treated with potassium permanganate at the acidic, neutral and basic ph media. Hydrocarbon removal controlled by an unpolluted sample of soil crude oil mixture was found to be ph dependent with most of the depletions occurring at acidic phs. The removal of aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH and BTEX) was efficient even though the oxidant did not effect good removal of aliphatic hydrocarbons (TPH). This could be attributed to the mode of reaction of permanganates which involves electrons unlike other oxidants like Fenton s reagent and persulphates that involve the formation of free radicals. The percentage removal of the BTEX is about 98, 91 and 93% for the acidic, neutral and basic media respectively. The attack of PAH and BTEX were better at acidic ph, though the four ringed PAHs like benzoanthracene and chrysene were seriously attacked at all phs by the oxidant. Key words: Potassium permanganate, PAH, BTEX, TPH, chemical oxidant, hydrocarbon. INTRODUCTION Permanganates are crystalline solids well known as oxidizing agents. They are available as sodium and potassium permanganates. It is easily handled, readily available, strong and versatile oxidizing agent with a relative oxidizing power of Their versatility in reacting with a wide range of organic compounds over a wide range of ph is attributable to the variable oxidation state of manganese in the reactions at different phs (Nelson et al., 2001; Karpenko et al., 2009). At very acidic phs i.e at phs less than 3.5, they have been found to react as follows: MnO H + + 5e - Mn H 2 O In this, manganese has been reduced from manganate (VII) to manganate (II). At ph , which is the common environmental condition, the reaction is as follows: MnO H 2 O + 3e - MnO 2 + 4OH - Here, manganese has been reduced from oxidation number of seven to four. The manganese dioxide solid produced does not pose so much environmental problem for they occur naturally in soils. A good look at the reactions above shows that permanganate oxidation involves primarily electron transfer unlike the Fenton s reaction and the persulfate reactions that also involve free radical reaction (Ojinnaka et al., 2011, 2012). Their oxidation of organic compounds ultimately leads to such products as water, carbon dioxide, manganese dioxide and some oxygenated compounds especially organic acids as intermediates. *Corresponding author.

They have been found to be of good use in the management of organic pollutants in soils. A very good example of these organic pollutants is hydrocarbons. Permanganates have strong affinity for pie electrons of the carbon- carbon or carbon oxygen double bonds to form hypomanganatediester. This intermediate being very unstable reacts further in a number of steps that includes cleavage, hydroxylation, hydrolysis etc to give the final products which are carbon dioxide, water and manganese dioxide at the usual environmental ph of (Siegrist et al., 2001). Advantages of using permanganate over other chemical oxidants include; their reactions unlike Fenton reactions are not exothermic, ph control not an issue and catalysts are not required to drive the reaction. Also free radical scavengers such as carbonates are not required and being a mild oxidant, it can be used in association with bioremediation (Schroth et al., 2001). Permanganates have been successfully used in the oxidation of alkanes, alkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, aldehydes, PAHs etc. (Damm et al., 2002 and Amanante, 2002). Bonny light crude oil is the most abundant crude oil type in Nigeria. It is sweet and light as the name suggests. The Niger Delta Province is heavily polluted with this crude oil type. Efforts and methods aimed at remediating the impacted soils have had little or no success. The need for other efficient remediation methods cannot be overemphasized in this part of the world. Gas chromatography (GC), an efficient tool in the study of hydrocarbon concentrations, is used in this study to evaluate the ability of potassium permanganate to remove petroleum hydrocarbons from crude oil polluted soils. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sandy soil samples (250 g) were weighed into three 1000 ml glass beakers. The phs of the samples were adjusted to acidic, neutral and basic using NaOH and HCl. The contents of the beakers were mixed with 20 ml of Bonny light crude oil sourced from Bomu oil Field in the Niger Delta area of southern Nigeria. The homogenized soil oil mixture in the containers were subsequently treated with 200 ml of potassium permanganate (KMnO 4 ) prepared by dissolving excess amount of the oxidant in water followed by filtration to remove undissolved particles. The treated samples were then taken to the laboratory for analysis together with an untreated sample that served as a control. The three hydrocarbons components mentioned above were all analyzed with a high resolution HRGC MEGA 2 series (FISONS instrument) Gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with a flame detector and the peak areas analyzed with an SRI model peak simple chromatography data system. A silica column of (30 m x 0.25 um x 25 mm) was used. TPH was analyzed at a column temperature of 60 C for 2 min to 300 C programmed at 12 C/min with nitrogen as the carrier gas. Hydrogen and air flow rate were 9psi and 13psi respectively. PAH was analyzed at a column temperature of 98 C for 1 min to 300 C programmed at 80 C/min and air flow rates were 12psi and 15psi respectively. BTEX was analysed at the initial temperature of 30 C for 1 min then increased to 180 C at 50 C/min and to 230 C at 20 C/min. Helium was used as the carrier gas. RESULT AND DISCUSSION The distribution of the various hydrocarbon groups (PAH, BTEX, TPH) of the untreated soil samples are shown in (Tables 1-3 and Figures 1-3). It can be clearly seen that removal of crude oil hydrocarbons from polluted soils using potassium permanganate is good and ph dependent with most of the depletions occurring at acidic medium (Figures 4-15 and Tables 4-6). It is also clear that the permanganate did not effect reasonable removal of the aliphatic hydrocarbons (TPH) but was good in the removal of the aromatic hydrocarbons. This could be attributed to the mode of reaction of the permanganates which is electron transfer unlike others that may involve formation of free radicals. Among the PAHs, removal at the acidic ph was better than the removal at the neutral or basic ph ranges. This is evident from Table 4 and Figure 7, as some of the PAHs were completely removed at the acidic ph. Generally the four- ringed PAHs such as pyrene, benzoanthracene and chrysene were seriously attacked at all ph ranges. Also the BTEX hydrocarbons were depleted by the treatment with permanganate. The depletion is also more pronounced at the acidic ph range. The percentage reduction of BTEX in the acidic medium is about 98%, 91% in the neutral medium and about 93% in the basic medium. This is shown in Figure 11 and Table 4. It is also clear that the treatment with permanganate resulted in the complete disappearance of the C 23 and above hydrocarbons at all ph ranges. Again this could be as a result of conversion of these longer chain aliphatic
