一个阅读里的语法问题

In the 1970’s the process of locating profitable pipes was refined by focusing on the subtle differences between the chemical  signatures of indicator minerals found in diamond-rich pipes as opposed to those found in barren pipes.

大家看看 as opposed to those found in barren pipes 作何成分?

是和主句并列吗?即 the process of locating profitable pipes was refined as the process was opposed to those found in barren pipes.

如果是 as 引导的从句当与主句的主语相同时可以省略主语和助动词。和 when, although 用法相同?

内个,我读这篇的时候,只管看懂意思就没深究了。lz把这个句子拿过来,看了半天我也没明白as引导的是个什么结构,开始觉得像省略be动词的定语从句,但又觉得不对。google了一下,原来as opposed to是个固定搭配,意思是与...形成对照。

多谢LS, 我开始也觉得和主句并列不对,但又一时找不到合适的平行对象。又学了一个语法点。
as opposed to是个固定搭配,意思是与...形成对照。

as opposed to those found in barren pipes 平行对象是 the chemical  signatures of indicator minerals found in diamond-rich pipes

those 指代
