Prepositions very commonly precede the pronoun this. Sometimes the adjective "this" appears without the word it would modify.

"Have you asked the boss about this?"

"He knew what the problem was, but I was not aware of this." (problem)

"Using mineral oil as a lubricant will damage the rubber gasket, so don't use oil for this." (purpose)

"He thought it was a mistake, and in this, at least, we agreed."
